I updated then my cd rom was not recognized anymore. The computer is asking
me where it went! So I checked the connections...fine. Then I bought a new cd
rom. The computer acts as if it's not even there. What do I do now??

I have a CD/DVD rom drive. I can r/w DVDs and now read only a very few CDs.
This started happening after a 'Windows Update'.
If I have a CD in the drive and boot the computer it will hang until I open
the drive.
Just for grins I took my drive out and put in a clean drive, installed XP
and installed everything from 'Windows Update' and NOTHING else. Guess
what... My 'Designed for Microsoft Windows XP' machine stopped properly
accessing the CD ROM.
When does the next update come out that fixes the problem?

Additional notes:
No errors were encountered durring the updates.
No errors show up in the device manager.

When a CD is placed in the drive, the cd spins, the LED blinks for awhile
but all attempts to r/w from/to the drive fails.
