I've had this problem for many months. It started after installing a Windows update
when I had Nero 6.3 installed. Unfortunately, I don't know what update it was nor
exactly when it started. I uninstalled Nero and got my drive back. I later installed
iTunes and the drives disappered again. The above mentioned script does work but
it disables Nero, iTunes and Roxio as the fix. I am running Windows XP SP2 on a
Toshiba 1955-s804 laptop. After running the script all drives come back but iTunes
no longer works and must be reinstalled. When that is done the drives disappear
again. This also happens when I install Nero Burning Rom 6.3 and I have heard that
it is also the case with Roxio. This is not an iTunes, Nero or Roxio issue, this
is a Windows issue. Anybody have a fix that will let iTunes install and not have
the drives disappear?
