E Drive help needed

[Mark]

Hi:

I'm running Windows XP and when I restart or shutdown, I loose my E drive.
It happens both when I leave a disk in or out. It is an NEC DVD+-RW 3450a.

Dell support thinks it is an XP software issue.They went into my registry
and screwed everything up but I fixed it through System restore.

In there past I have used System Restore to bring it back.

Please help,
Mark
