if it has just happened then try using system restore to go back to an earlier restore point
it's under accessories , system tools
A friends PC often "loses" its Cr-Rom..this cures it !!
if it is broken then it's not the hardest job in the world to put in a new one, Windows will just recognise the new drive and you will be up and runningEx forum ambassador
