Disk Drives Gone??

Post by Double O Ninety » Sun Jan 12, 2003 5:02 pm

Hey, I was working on an AMV the other day, having some fun, you know...

I thought, hey! Time to add my last source!

So I pop my DVD into the drive, close it.

Smartripper says: No DVD found

Me: WTF?

So I go into Windows Explorer. I'm in My Computer, and to my horror, I HAVE NO C OR D DRIVE ANYMORE!

What do I do?

I can't reinstall the drives!

They are on disks...

I can't even restore the system because the last restore point was after they went byebye.

What do I do?

The same thing has happened to me!!!! I can't fix it. I've tried everything. The drivers on the site are for Windows 95/98, and you have to do a bunch of crap to install them (load into DOS, set to Master), and I even did all of that... But still nothing workes.

Do the drives show up in Device Manager, in safe mode?

As everyone suggested, reboot, I had the same problem once and rebooting solved it.

Have you installed any new software lately, specifically Easy CD Creator or something similar which installs its own ASPI layer?

I've found that some software can cause drives to suddenly disappear, and they simply can not be recovered without reinstalling Windows.
