What OS did you have, and what did you upgrade to? It shouldn't have changed your drive letters. Try searching for the drive with a CD in it at a DOS prompt using DIR X: command where X is the suspect drive letter. Another thing to try is to go into device manager and remove the drive, restart, and have the OS find and reinstall it for you.
