We have more then one member complain about missing CDROMs/DVDs from their XP system. A look in Device Manager shows an exclamation mark next to their drive(s). Microsoft attributes one of the causes of this to the removal of CD recording software, particularly (but not exclusively) EZCD Creator. Microsoft has a knowledgebase article referring to this problem. and offers a solution that seems to work in most cases.
