During a cd copying in Nero express, I lost my CDRW drive. I was running Nero, AIM, Internet Explorer and had Windows Media player open but not playing. I maximized media player and clicked play, while nreo was copying a cd to a cdr. The CD played a few seconds, skiped and then the burn process failed and my CDRW DRive was rendered powerless and was removed from my system. It is no longer in device manager or in "my computer". What happened to my CDRW DRive? Thanks Jason, [email protected]

It sounds that the driver for the CD-RW drive have been corrupted Just reinstall the driver software and you should be okay.
