226214 2004-03-31 10:49:00 When I switch off my computer I loose my CD Rom drive. Every time I boot up I have to go to control panel--Add New Hardware to load it again. I am running XP. What do you think my problem is?

226215 2004-03-31 11:01:00 Rather strange?? Does it still appear in your bios as it loads? Go into the bios and make sure it's setup properly. If not and it keeps disappearing from the bios, I would think that's where your problem lies. Is the date also resetting itself? if so might be time to replace the motherboard battery.

Hope this helps.

the problem is that if the BIOS is trying to do your plug and play settings and so is your OS and they keep moving the CD-Rom drive aroud.
