My CD-R drive is not opening. I press the button and no light even flickers. I called Gateway and they said that I need to install the drivers from the CD that came with the computer. I do not have access to those CDs because they are in another state. Is there anyway to get the drivers for this drive online? I opened it up and I found a number on the drive but wasn't sure if it was the model number. I searched for that model number online but to no avail. The drive is made by Philips if this helps. How do I check to see if it is even a driver problem??
