Default Suddenly lost cd/dvd drives..?



Please can someone help with this????????
I'm having the same problem, however, Device manager will not even find them!!
They were working perfect in RC1 until about a week ago, then they just
disappeared?? I even thought about going back to XP, but cant find any means
of uninstalling RC1 and with no drives, cant just re-install over the top.
There is no way I'm going down the Daemon tools/ Alcohol 120% route again.
Hope someone can figure this out.
Cheers,
Lee.........

Try booting from a cd or dvd, just to test if it isn't a hardware problem...
Does the BIOS find them?

My CD/DVD drives would disappear in RC1 and loading RC2 brought them back.
While on RC1, I tried the registry hack in a knowledgebase article only to
find the registry was corrupt for my CD drive. Again, when I loaded RC2,
all it well now with the CD/DVD.

HTH,

Chris
