Here's how to make disapperared DVD/CD-drives re-appear

[Alexander]

Check this KB-article. It's about disappearing CD-ROM or DVD-drives in
Windows XP.

But the first solution mentioned also worked when my Lite/On DVD/rewriter
disappeared after the first restart of Vista. A common problem that many
mention.

The article is at support.microsoft.com/kb/314060.

Success!

could you give a better link. the one you gave is not available.

That's because he didn't give you a ready to click hyperlink. Go to
support.microsoft.com and look up Knowledge Base article 314060. Or better
yet, get someone else to do it for you.
