Disappearance of Disk Drives in Explorer

I´m running Windows ME with Roxio Easy CD Creator 5 for Samsung CD-ROM SC-1-48 and Samsung Combo CD-RW SM-304B drives.

My burner stopped recognising the CD-RW facility several months ago, but still let me burn Read only discs.

A few days ago Direct CD refused to work, and today both disk drives are not displayed by Explorer at all!

For the last few days I have used “Audiograbber” to convert some of my audio CDs into MP3s. I also downloaded a couple of Critical Windows updates yesterday.

Several restoration points have proved unsuccessful. The repair facility in Add/Remove Manager does not accept the original disks.

Any advice on what else I could try?

 

Have a look in the device manager & see what it says about your rom(s). If you have an error code take a look here>>
