CD Drives lost...pls help !!!!

[plomon]

hi guys,
My CD-drives suddenly disappeared from "My Computer". Although they are physically attached to the system, they are not detected by the OS, i guess. On checking the hardware profiles(i.e., Device Manager) too, there is yellow exclamatory mark adjacent to the CD drive icons. So, simply my cd drives are lost on the system. pls tell me a method to recover the lost drives. The lost drives are H: and I:, which are not shown by "My Computer".

Pls view the screenshot of "My Computer".




Here's the screenshot of the Device Manager:





As seen from the second picture, there's a yellow mark adjacent to the CD Drives.

In Device Manager, right-click on the drives in the list and choose properties.

What does it say in the Device Status window that opens?

Have you tried running the Troubleshooter?
