several things here. It looks to me like the machine has some issues with the hardware in the system. Start by uninstall the CD/DVD drives and physically disconnect them from the system. Then runinstall the IDE channels that are being used for the CD/DVD drives. then reboot. let the system come up and install what it wants, then shutdown and add the CD/DVD drives back to the system. see if that helps.
If not, i would suggest checking system restore for any restorations point greater then 3 months back. This may pose a problem for you, but aside from that a rebuild might be the only solution left...
good luck
Ok.....for about 3 months now I have been running my computer with no CD-rom drives detected.... ok from the start... My computer had the burning program of Record Now...but everytime I tried to load it it would but sit there...so after a couple of lik weeks...i desided to remove it... And thts exactly what I did. I went to add/remove programs and removed it.. Than I wanted to try to put it back in to see if it would work... I reinstalled it...and than on boot up it gave me a blue screen everytime... SO i booted the computer into safe mode and got rid of it... Than I restarted... and everything was back to more... but I had no drives present in my computer... and still today theres nothing... I thas in the hardware manager that there connect...but they have a missing or currpt driver... SO i tried to uninstall than and reinstall the drivers..

And really want them to work again... Any help to get them to workk again will be helpful....Thanx!
