I was working on a video editing program when it crashed and I noiced either of my two cd rom drives appeared anywhere anymore except in Device Manger where they both had been working fine for the last 6 months. One is an internal CD-RW and the other is an external USB DVD burner. I tred uninstalling both and restarting with no change. Also tried updating drivers. I had another PC that had it's CD burner "disappear' but the external Sony DVD drive worked fine with that. I tried running an online diag at http:/pcpitstop.com and it said both devices were disables with "a code 39 problem". I don't get the feeling this is an Atapi problem but...what do I know. Thanks
