CD-ROM Drives gone, even virtual drives.

    Sometime yesterday all of my cd-rom drives dissapeared.

    I checked to make sure the drives were still plugged in and they are. It seems to be a problem with the entire category of cd-rom drives because even my Alcohol virtual drive is gone. :(

    Uninstalling the drives does not do any good. They get reinstalled but still no recognition. Also notice the PnP Bios is bad (I'm not sure what the yellow ! really means)

    Any help would be huge.

    What operating system do you have? Did you install/uninstall anything just before this happened?

    What happens when you check the properties for the plug and play BIOS? It would appear the devices are being seen but not able to function. Have you tried to check the properties and run the trouble shoot for each device? I'm just guessing here, since my comp doesn't have that pnp Bios entry but i think you need to check the properties and possibly reinstall the drivers or run the trouble shoot.
