I don't know if anyone is going to reply to this since the posting is four
years old. I can't seem to find out how to post my question that somewhat
relates to this posting. But I guess its worth a try.

I don't know when the DVD/CD-ROM drive disappered, but it did. I looked
under device manager and it does show there. I've done the fix that is below,
but it did not do anything for my situation. So again, nothing showing under
My Computer, nothing in Device Manager/Disk Drives. How do I get the drivers
reinstalled?

I am running XP Home Edition

You can no longer access the CD drive or the DVD drive, or you receive an
error message after you remove a CD recording program or a DVD recording
program in Windows XP: "error code 31"
