Hi - thanks for that..... I tried it, but all options in that menu are greyed
out except "delete partition"..... ! I'm baffled - the disk is there but I
don't seem to be able to get at it....... any more clues ?

Restore Missing CD Drive

[[The popular CDGONE patch. CD drives may vanish in Windows Explorer, Device
Manager, etc. if a third-party CD-burning package has been uninstalled and
Registry references for some code modules aren’t removed successfully. This
patch and a reboot usually will restore the missing drives. Any third
party package still required will then have to be re-installed. ]]

section of Alex Nichol’s Burning CDs in Windows XP article.]]
