guys, it would be really nice if someone would help me get my cd-rom drives working again. I have a regular drive that is connected as a slave to hard drive on the primary IDE controller and I also have a creative CD-RW that is connected as a master on the secondary. They were both working fine and I had no problem until I rebooted my computer a couple of days ago and the system found them at startup but windows didn't see them not even in the device manager. Even though my hard drive is working it also isn't showing in the device manager under disk drives. ~???~ I'm confused
Device manager doesn't indicate any kind of conflict or problem. I have never troubleshooted this kind of situation before and have no idea what could be wrong. Please help
