Can not see CD Drive

Hi,
    Somehow, when my father was using my computer I guess for another computers drive, I lost mine. I see it in Device Manager, and it says it's properly installed. I just can not see it in "My Computer" I have a "DVD Drive" but mine is a "CD/DVD Drive" and it's supposed to be my E: Drive. So how do I map it in My Computer?

    Try removing the upper/lower filter values, as explained here:

    Thanks, but I forgot to tell that I got an error, while rebooting (Was recommended on another site) it said it cannot detect "Drive 4"...so...I think that makes things worse then what I originally placed here.

    "Drive 4 not found: Parallel ATA, PATA-0 (PRI IDE Master)

    Enter the BIOS (Set-up) and check that it is set to AUTO or ON.

    I had the same problem last week. In my case it said cannot find drive 5. It was listed as an "unknown" drive in the bios. After 2 calls to tech, they finally replaced it. Everything Ok for now. Joe
