CD/DVD E Drive Missing

Aug 18, 2007 2:36AM PDT

My E Drive is now missing. It does not show up in My Computer or anywhere. It was working fine then we put in a music CD and now it doesn't recognize it. I have an Acer Aspire 5100 Vista Home Premium. What can I do? Thank you in advance.

I tried the link and it did not work. I don't know if would make a difference or not but that link was for XP and mine is Vista. Any other ideas would be deeply appreciated. Thanks so much.

Same problem

I'm using an Acer Aspire 5610 notebook, with much the same problem. The regedit fix does not work for me.

Any other workarounds I can try?
