   Yeah, so my computer seems to have lost track of my DVD drive.
  I have a new laptop.  I couldn't play DVD's in anything except VLC because, apparently, my DVD player's region code was set to 2.  So I heard that DVD Shrink could change my region code, so when I started it up it told me I could change my region code to 1 and that I could change it four times after that.  So I hit OK, and now my DVD drive doesn't work at all.  It spins, but my computer gives me no indication that it nows there's even a drive attached.Did it think I was pirating movies and self destruct or something?EDIT:  Oh, I forgot we had a hardware forum.

Even though restarting doesn't fix it, putting it to sleep does.Additionally, the region code changed successfully, too.I'm actually almost certain it was a copy protection feature of some sort, which is kind of interesting, really.
