no drivers for cd rom or dvd rw

[Guest]

one minute they are there now there are gone ...poof magic... Could it be
because I downloaded and installed Ca's anti-virus or what. All resourses
have been exalted. I have everywhere on Microsofts support and Vista help.
Drivers can not be loaded...What could interfer with loading drivers... I
have unistalled and re-booted but still can not load.. I have manually tried
to update but no luck.. I know your busy and maybe I have overlooked
something simple... I will not accept this, so I am going to keep trying...

I am having the same issue as well. I just installed Windows Vista Beta 2
today (from DVD) and after the install the DVD/CDRW Rom does not appear. I
have searched the forums and found nothing that helps.

* I do not see a CD ROM device in device manager (so I cannot unistall the
driver and hope that plug-and-play will reinstall it)

* I have tried KB Q320553 (remove UpperFilters, LowerFilters)

Still nothing. Are there any other fixes to this issue?

Here's more info...
I have a Gateway 610S Media Center. The entire computer is integrated so I
cannot swap wires as some in the forum have done. I don't recall the DVD/CD
Rom ever working. The first time I went to use the device after Vista
installation, the device was gone. I look throught the Event Viewer and this
is the only entry that pops out...

1) The following boot-start or system-start driver(s) failed to load:
pxhelp20

(pxhelp20 is related to my DVD Driver I think)


Well that's about everything I can think of. Any help is appreciated.

I have already search the forum, I've tried the upper/lower filter fix. That
doesn't solve my problem.
