I have a Latitude D810 laptop.

The DVD/ D drive has gone when I go to my computer.

I`m guessing I have deleted something in error.

Where can I get the driver from?

The laptop comes with CyberLink Power DVD 5.3.1012 software disc.

Unfortunatly, the disc won`r run now - any ideas guys???

Yes, have dell Remotely fix your issue. there's a TON of problems with Dell's crappy selection of CD\DVD Burners and Roms.

They have basic Windows Drivers...
Windows Media Player decides to overwrite these registry entries.. Now your DVD Rom is "EPIC FAIL"
Doesn't show up and it does not respond when IT DOES show up after rebooting.

Dell has no drivers for these, they only have firmware updates which DO seem to work but it still sucks. I would buy a new DVD rom that does NOT use a Microsoft Driver that will be changed everytime you use Windows media player... blah!

$20-30 @ Tigerdirect.com
There's even a DVD-Burner with LightScribe for $29.
