re: all my CD rom drives suddenly dissappeared Wednesday, February 16, 2005 at 5:08 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Sanjeev (2 messages posted) Hello, I'm trying to fix the same problem on someone's computer. The cd-rom dissappered when he tried to install an external cd-writer. I booted off of the XP installation CD, ran the setup, and chose to repair the installation. NOW, when it boots up it is trying to finish setting up. It looks for the xp cd-rom, but can't find the drive. It is driving me nuts. If someone can help, I would be very thankful.
