When i go to my computer i cant see my optical drives (dvd and writer) anymore, and nero wont work because they are not being reconised any ideas?
i have tried going to the device manager and i right click on the IDE and check for new hardware and it shows them for a while, then they dissappear again

Try uninstalling them in device manager, reboot and let windows reinstall. If you are using IDE, be sure to check those in device manager, IDE/ATA ATAPI controllers, primary IDE channel, right click, properties, advanced settings and make sure that it is either Ultra DMA, DMA and not PIO.

thanks i have resolved it, i was against your idea Miang because my IDE is connected via a PCI/IDEcard and i cant remember where i got the driver for the card, or which cd it might or might not be on
i was looking online why my system restore never works and it look like its an issue with Norton, so i booted in safe mode and managed to restore the pc a back to a working configuration.
Thanks for the input
