This happened to me a few days ago and I don't exactly know what I did to fix it, but now it's happened again....

I turned on my computer and it took a long time to load. When it finally did, it is not recognizing my CD/DVD Rom or my DVD writer. Even when I open MY COMPUTER they do not show up there. I've had them installed now for at least 4 months and have never had any problems with them prior to this.

The only option I can think of is maybe a system restore. Does anyone else have any ideas? It's appreciated.

Thanks.
