Can anybody suggest a possible solutions

Just got back from vacation and the computer is not recognizing the CD Rom
and the CD/DVD recorder. I don't think it is a hardware problem since the
hard drives that the units share ATA connections with are working just
fine.

the other funny thing is I ran "Sandra pro" which is a diagnostic program
and they showed up !!

Any thoughts on what could cause this??

Win XP Pro

my 1st thought is if you were on vacation, who was using the machine ?
Definitely wouldn't go into making any changes with patches you didn't need
previously, till You find out what was changed.

Myself, I lose the drives all the time, but not the CD or DVD every time I do a
reinstall / repair of the OS till I run the via raid tool. Then they all show
up.

IOW something drastic happens then the drives disappear.
