No Drives Displayed in "Computer"

To clarify the iTunes thing a bit

iTunes installs a system level CD ROM driver, called GEARAspiWDM.sys. This driver is used by iTunes to burn CDs. The problem, however, is it causes your ROM drives to toss a driver signature problem in control panel. The fix is to search for the key in the registry. You're looking for a key called upperfilter ( info in my previous post ). When you find it, double click that key and delete that filename. Then, remove your ROM devices and let Windows redetect them.

Well, I upgraded from Vista Home Premium, I downloaded the RC1(32bit) from the microsoft site yesterday, so am assuming that its the latest.

How do I go about checking permissions?

I have attached a list of the programs that are installed on my notebook.

I have also done what was advised by Hedrush, but to no avail.

Thanks so much.

@Hedrush

Do you imply that I remove the CD drive from my laptop and then put it back?

Try what john suggested first, but no I didnt mean physically remove them. I meant goto device manager, remove them from there and then let windows redetect them.

You have Enhance my 7 installed - make sure you didn't change a setting in there to hide your drives in Explorer / Computer....

I am sure it was there even before I installed it, but I gave it another look. Nothing. Weird.

Should I try uninstalling iTunes?

Try this

Fix Hard Drive Or DVD Not Showing Up In Windows 7

Tried it, but like I said, drive letters have been allocated by default.

Just removed iTunes, am gonna restart my comp now, just keeping my fingers crossed.

This is getting really weird. Nothing happened.

Even tried uninstalling and then letting windows detect the CD drive. Can it be because of the fact that I have disabled autorun?

What to do??
