okay, i don't know what caused this problem, but all the sudden when i booted windows and tried to play halo it said "insert the disc in a disc drive and retry". and im like... double you tee eff? so i browsed my computer to run the disc and try to boot halo but to my horror ALL drives except C:/ and A:/ (i dont even have a floppy drive... idk why thats even there) were gone! my one physical DVD drive and all the virtual mounting drives alcohol 120% gives me were gone! anyone know anything about this and how to restore them?
