I had a systems crash during a session using the
Microsoft update feature (operator error I'm sure).
Anyway, now the OS wont recognize my CD-RW or my DVD
drive. When I try and chk them in the Device Manager, the
CDROM class is not even an option. I've pounded my head
on the wall with this one with no luck. ANY help is
appreciated.
