I have the same problem with a Compaq presario 5000 I'm working on. Drives disappeared, returned after the registry fix, installed some software and disappeared again and stayed hidden all evening. This morning, hey presto! they have returned! I'm beginning to suspect system board battery. Any other ideas please?
