Hi:if they shows up before in device manager and now not than some files in the registry has been corrupted and these files are Related to your Cd-Rom /Cd-Rw Good luck
If they are working fine, why not leave things alone. You might mess things up fooling with mscdex. Mscdex is only needed for DOS. Windows has it built in.
