Can you open the CD Drive? If so, it's getting power.

Can you see it in the BIOS? If not, it's possible the cable is unplugged, or loose.

Have you checked the IDE cable to the CD Writer and the power cable to the CD Writer?

Hi all
Is this a new cd drive ? If not did you add or delete any new hardware or software?

My cdrom drive disappeared about 2 months ago and I had done nothing unusual before this happened. One day, I ran Norton Antivirus on the pc & it found that it was infected with the NYB virus. Norton removed the virus & when I rebooted, my cdrom drive reappeared.
