I had the same problem and restoring the drivers didn't work either. I had
to manually delete the references to the drive from the registry and re-work
them.

I wish I could help but this is drive-specific to some extent. Perhaps you
can relay this to a person near you with more experience? You need to get
the device name (I have an old Sony CDU511 (the keys looked like
___CDU_511___) for my second drive), and you need to delete all the
references to the drive. A reboot should re-install the drive.

It NEVER crossed my mind an Adaptec issue was in Microsoft.com. It appears
I took the long way around.
Anyhow, the article states:

"You are cannot access your CD-ROMs"

Maybe that's why I missed it
