Lost Hardware

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.newusers (More info?)

Hi

I don't know if this is the right place or not but here goes.
I have a problem in that my CD drive disappears from Explore at the end
of a day if it has not been used often during the day.

The only way to get it back is to restart the Computer.

Cheers Alex
