The drives for my CDRom and CD Burning are suddenly missing when I click on 'My Computer'. I am not sure when they went missing. I did a Belarc system check and they are not shown. My OS is WinXP Pro SP2.

Can I do something in system restore. Can I keep resetting system restore and go back day by day until they re-appear?

Check all your ribbon cables, as well as power cables, and make sure that they are plugged in all the way.
 
Device Manager, click the computer and refresh. It is weirdly acting with me when I ran XP.
 
I have checked all my cables and they seem to be OK. I also did a restart.

Did you unplug the cables and plug them back in? (just to make sure they are OK)

Are all the drivers setup correctly?
 
Yes. I unplugged the cables and plugged them back in. I am not sure how I check up to see if the drivers are set upcorrectly
 
so aer they back? did you get them? if not, do you have the correct drivers for them? go to the manufacter's site and download the drivers for ur drive.
