re: all my CD rom drives suddenly dissappeared Monday, January 2, 2006 at 6:15 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Bucky Pope (3 messages posted) I've got double bad news. Not only does the itunes install disable the two cdrom drives, it doesn't complete the install. I've installed the same .exe file downloaded from Apple on three other machines with no problems. It get's to 'Publishing ...', then the window disappears and there is no evidence that an install ever took place, except there cdroms are toast.
