The computer can detect both but there is no letters for them on my computer.
They use to be drives E and F and now if you put a CD in either they are not
recognized. Can someone help Please!
 
When I go to device manager they are there but they have a exclamation point
over them. I have tried system restore and that did not work either.
 
Hi Husker - See here:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;[LN];270008 It may not
sound like it applies but take the steps outlined there to delete the Upper
and Lower Filters. Or, . . .

.. . . Or, you can also use this reg file to handle these deletes (it takes
care of
deleting some other things which can cause problems as well):
http://www.aumha.org/downloads/cdgone.zip This is
pretty much the "standard" fix for this type of issue. Backup first so that
you can recover if there are problems (there aren't usually, BTW).

It's recommended by Compaq/HP that you run FilterFixer also when this occurs
to recreate the correct entries, here:
