if it is a recent problem, a system restore can help you.<br />
otherwise, delete the entries for the drives in device manager, and reboot.<br />
you can also try running sfc /scannow from the dos box, if the above don't help

what about safemode? &nbsp;Also, you mention you have two separate antivirus utilities, which can cause strange issues.

Strange problem. &nbsp;I am currently running windows XP pro SP1. &nbsp;All of a sudden neither my DVD or My CDRW can access disks unless they had one in at start-up. Once the disk is removed the computer cannot recognize the disk. The same happens with my 3.5 floppy and my external zip drive, in those cases windows claims that the disk is not formated- I know that there is data in the zip disk. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
when I try to use Nero Burning I get this error message &quot;Under Windows Nt4/2000 burn rights are required by nero to acces cd recorders and cd rom/dvd drives&quot; but I have windows xp? I never had that problem before today. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I am stumped with this... I have run adware a bunch of times and two separate virus softwares. &nbsp; &nbsp;

Storage Devices cant be accesed

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.

Storage Software

A desktop computer is a personal computer designed for use at a single location due to its size and power requirements, usually by one person. The most common configuration has a case that houses the power supply, motherboard, disk storage (usually one or more hard disk drives and optical disc drives); a keyboard and mouse for input; and computer monitor and printer for output. The case may be oriented horizontally and placed atop a desk or vertically and placed underneath or beside a desk.
