CD roms disapeared

I finally had Vista 64 running but again my CD roms disapeared from My Computer. In Device Manager they show up as disabled and won't recover. Any help out there?

RE: CD roms disapeared

I've had this happen too. My only solution, was to restart the computer.
Hopefully, more users will experience this, and submit a bug report.

Not yet figured it out.

I uninstalled Nero 6.6 which is the only good enough Nero I manged to install and my drives showed up again. I re-installed Nero and downloaded a ASPI untillity from Nero hoping it would solve the problem and although the CD roms didn't dissapear at first later on they dissapeared all of a sudden. Restarting didn't help. I uninstalled Nero again but they didn't appear any more. Still working on this problem. Need to find an alternative CD-DVD recording software.
Next option is to do a fresh install of Vista 64 without ever installing Nero to se if the problem replicates.
Thanks for all input from you guys.

CD's DVD's back

I did a fresh install of Vista 64 but this time I didn't use Nero. Seems like that was the problem. Everything working ok now.
