Is it showing up in the BIOS when you startup your PC?

Have you checked the power cable and ribbon cable are still securely
attached to the back of the unit... and in the case of the ribbon cable, to
the motherboard?

You may have some screwed-up services by Roxio or Nero.
Roxio adds some "UpperFilters" and "LowerFilters" settings
in the registry that sometimes cause what you describe. If
the BIOS sees the drive just fine, but Windows doesn't,
then this might be the problem. If so, search the registry
for UpperFilters and LowerFilters and delete them.
Then reboot and see if the drive reappears.
 
Hello

Go into your registry and look at the upper and lower filters
and see if they are their or not, does the cdrom show up at
all under device manager.
