re: Followup: all my CD rom drives suddenly dissappeared Sunday, March 16, 2008 at 11:18 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Mike (1 messages posted) My CD-ROM drives recently disappeared after installing some Roxio software. After doing some research, I found the patches posted and also tried deleting the upperfilters, etc. from the registry as recommended. Unfortunately, none of these attempts fixed the problem. I also checked the BIOS and it is not showing up there or in the device manager. Please help as this is extremely frustrating. Thanks!
