Vista - Suddenly lost cd/dvd drives..?

I just lost my two burners, a cd and a dvd. They were working properly
about an hour ago. They work fine xp pro (I'm dual booting) and the mobo
sees them. They will not properly install in Vista (yellow exclamation
marks in device manager next to them). Of course I've uninstalled and
reinstalled them both numerous times.
Anyone???
Thanks.
Frank

Me to. I was installing an application from my cd drive - rebooted and both
my internal cd and dvd drives now have the yellow exclamation marks against
them. Details in CP show error code 39 stating corrupt or missing driver
files. Point vista to the drivers and it just reports error installing.
Help appreciated !! cheers Maurice

Hi Frank,

there are no ASPI (Adaptec) Drivers in the System.
After Installing the Drivers it will be OK.

Did either of you install the Kodak Easyshare software? It has this nasty
side-effect on Vista.

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,

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

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/320553 - I just did method 1 on RC1, but
had no Upperfilters, so deleted Lowerfilters and rebooted. It worked.
