Forgetful Windows?

Windows XP has some how forgotten that I have a CD drive
in my computer. The listing for the CD drive still shows
up during the boot segment, but it is not listed in
Windows Explorer and is not accessible from any
programs. What causes this and what can be done to fix
it - short of wiping my HD and reloading Windows?

I just posted a message to this group titled "COM port not detected".
Follow the same procedure for your CD drive. Look in "DVD/CD-ROM drives".
If your system's "DVD/CD-ROM drives" has device sub-nodes then what are
their status? If not follow the same procedure for deleting your "unknown
devices" and try to reenumerate your CD drive.
Good Luck
Bill
