CD and DVD Drives dissapeared

[Guest]

I have an HP Pavilion 7955 with windows XP, and it has been working fine
for several years. Just a couple months ago, however, my CD and DVD
drives started dissapearing - If i went to "My Computer" they would not
show up, and they didn't work at all. However, if i restarted the
computer, this fixed the problem. Now, though, my drives have
permanently dissapeared; even restarting the computer won't get them
back. What's going on?
Any help you could give would be great.

Thanks,
Ben
