I was wondering if others had the vanishing CD-Rom problem. Thank God for System Restore! I will try adding another ASPI layer before my next reinstall. Very scary to see both of my drives gone!
BTW, also noticed that the record tab on XP vanishes if I update the IDE driver from Via. Bad.
Edit, no dice. WinXP uses ASPI layer 4.57, and I replaced them with 4.60. Reinstalled Nero, no drives. Again, I am really starting to love system restore! Nero 5.5.5.1 is supposed to be XP compatible, so why is it messing up my system?
