A strange one here.
I am running windows 2000 with SP4.
My problem is that my CD-Rom drives disappear (2). This includes any
reference in device manager to them.

Anyone, with any solution?

Do I have a problem with my registry?

Otherwise the system appears to be running ok.
Oh they will come back on a reboot on a random basis. No entry in the logs
either.

Thanks in advance

check the cd-rom autorun in your registry. go to regedit
then got to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->System->Current Control
Set->Services->Cdrom. Make sure that the Autorun value in
the right-hand panel has the value "1". Also, you might
want to check your BIOS when the machine is starting and
make sure the CD-rom is identified in the IDE controller
settings
