Has there been any hardware changes that could have caused this? If not, go to the control Panel, click on 'system', and click on 'performance'. If there is a line that reads "Your master boot record has been modified" then you may well have a boot sector virus.

Do you mean that the cdrom is missing from My Computer and Device Manager ? In Device Manager, are there any yellow ! next to hard disk controllers ? Try this first... 1. Run REGEDIT and search for NOIDE 2. It will be here if you have it in your registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\SERVICES\VXD\IOS 3.
