Something happened and computer cannot see cd rom and
cd/dvd/rom drives at all. What gives?
I tried to restore to earlier date and computer refused to
do that. Please help, anyone.

Having the same issue. I found another post talking about
the same type of problem. They recommended updating the
firmware. I have done that on the CDRW drive but it has
not resolved the problem. Let me know if you run across
the solution. I will do the same.

I am also having the same problem. I get a Code 39
saying that the driver is corrupt or missing.

Found the solution after digging through several post.

Althought I did not remove any CD recording software, I
experienced the same symptoms. This should help you both.

I went into regedit. Important - export your current
registry to a floppy in the event it causes problems. I
never like dorking with the registry, but this was fairly
straight forward.

email me at address above if you have any questions and I
will try to help.
