Hi Donna,
did it work before?
downloading a new program
doing Windows Updates

Does it work in Safe mode?

CD-ROM drive or DVD-ROM drive appears to be missing after you install=
 Windows XP

Restore a missing CD or DVD drive
http://www.theeldergeek.com/restore_missing_cd_or_dvd_drive.htm
Reports have filtered in that CD or DVD drives will suddenly cease to exist=
 in XP systems. Most often this has been reported in conjunction with=
 program installations and Windows upgrades, but it has also happened for=
 no apparent reason. This tweak will restore the missing drives after a=
 reboot.
++ There is more on the web site.
