I have a DVD Rom and a DVD Burner and neither of them are showing up in my computer.
I've been into my BIOS and can't seem to find an option that enables / disables them.
This is my motherboard Click Here Don't know if that helps for understanding my BIOS or not.
I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit.
Also I am using Daemon tools if that matters at all or not, I have one drive using Daemon tools that shows up all the time, but not my real drives.
Oh also, I checked the lower and upper registry files and I could only see one of the two. Only seen upper file no lower one on both drives, which didn't work when I deleted them.

Face to Palm ... Didn't think to check the cable seeing as yesterday I added some RAM and the IDE cable is a bit short when I lower the side of the case down. Sorry for anyones time I've wasted reading this.

Sounds like corrupted drivers. Check Device Manager for yellow exclaimation marks next to your optical drives.
