My computer will not recognice cd-rom drive after installation

Does anyone have any comments or solutions for this?? After Windows Updater
installs new files, my computer will stop recognizing the cd-rom and/or will
not allow me to burn cd's. Please help!!

If your CD drive is present on boot up, but disappears when you try to
access a disk in the drive, then I believe SP2 has changed the drivers for
your motherboard's IDE chipset. This happened to me with my VIA chipset.
Since I couldn't reinstall the drivers with the vanishing CD drive, I went
to my motherboard manufacturers website and downloaded the latest VIA 4-in-1
drivers and installed them. That fixed my vanishing CD drive problem.
