Hello everybody,

I am having a strange problem,as my system has stopped showing my two CD/DVD drives in the "My Computer" menu all of a sudden,even though they are working mechanically and it seems that there is no problems with their connection as both the trays are functioning normally, with no hardware changes done in my system recently.
But I have installed Nero writing software and it was working fine even after that but it is showing problems all of a sudden. I wonder what could be the possible reason for this.
I am having Windows XP Prof. and both the drives were easily accessible untill recently and writings could be done as well unlike now.
Any advice to sort this problem out is highly welcome.
Thanking you all in advance.

Is it happening when you load a cd/dvd or just when you open the My Computer.

Check it and also check if this is useful

Hi Digit Dragon,
Thanks for writing me back .
Well, I cannot access my CD/DVD drives at all, not only whenever I load a CD/DVD. It is as if they really don't exist at all in the system..
Thanks for the link, I am going through it , but it seems not too usefull un til now.
Will let you kno if it does..
