it may have just lost it - go into control panel and add hardware - you can tell the PC to search for new hardware and it will then automatically install the drive - worked for my portables dvd driveTANSTAAFL !0

I assume you have restarted your computer without success? Daft question, but as any helpdesk technician will tell you it can solve many problems!
Also check that's it not a connection loose. Turn off your computer, open up and gently unplug the leads to the CD drive and plug them in again.
(You may not want to do this if it's under warranty and opening the case voids the warranty!)0 -
