hi there,
i will suggest you to make a system restore
to the date it was detecting the drive and before installing the new software
by following these steps:
Press Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools>
System Restore Open it and then select a date when it was fine and workng correctly
This will solve the problem Thanks

I was wondering did you resolve this problem?
I have Dell demension 4600 with basicly the same problem.
I'm a 50yr old who is self taught on computer repair. I am mechanicly inclined so I probably know enough to be dangerous. Anyway I have Dell Demension 4600 desktop I bought about 7yrs ago. I've done upgrades and repairs in the past on it myself such as installing more memory, larger power supply needed to handle the ATI All in Wonder 9800 video tuner card I also installed.
The problem I'm having is that my cd/dvd rom and my printer both are not being recognized by the computer, this all happened on the same day. I've done the usual things like checking cords and plugs. I've reloaded software, system restore, drivers and I even bought a new cd/dvd rom. I also did some little guy holding a tool diagnostic on Microsofts sight. There is no sign of either in the device manager. I changed the motherboard once before about 1 1/2 yrs. ago but in my old age I don't remember why but it did work. Is it posible that the motherboard is bad again. I would really appreciate your help. Last time the motherboard was a $100.00 on ebay, I see them now for about half that. Thanks in advance, Ron

I uninstalled the HP printer software and Re-installed the Norton anti virus suite. Norton cleaned up my hard drive, and my disc drives were now recognized by windows. Then I re-installed the printer from the set-up disc and updates from the internet. I was doing too much at once, and some steps were skipped or corrupted. Everything runs fine now, and Norton is definitely superior to CA as far as virus detection and erradication. I also use "Cleanup" every day to keep my temp files clear.
