      For recovering lost cd drives, follow the following steps:

      1. Click on START button, the click on RUN
      2. Enter REGEDIT and press enter
      3. When REGEDIT starts, open up the following folders
      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
      SYSTEM
      CurrentControlSet
      Control
      Class
      {4D36E965-E325 -11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
      4. After clicking on {4D36E965-E325 -11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} you should see two settings on the right-hand side:
      “Upperfilters”
      “Lowerfilters”
      Click on each of them, press DELETE and click YES.

      Then close REGEDIT, shutdown & restart your PC
