Hello all! What an update to the site by the way! Man, looks good! I think that I installed some software or updates that just made my computer not show my optical drive anywhere. Not in disk management, my computer, or the device manager. I tried system restore, the first time it worked. But then I tried to undo that restoration after I thought that I fixed it, now it still won't work, and system restore is not bringing my drive back to life. Thanks.

Did you install or update Roxio products recently? They have been known to make optical drives disappear from Windows frequently.
