    I tried search and couldn't come up with solution so: After creating a new partition on my HDD with Partition Magic I ran Drive Mapper and everything worked fine and CD-Rom shows in Device Manager w/no problems and the drive letter is correct but the icon has disappeared in My Computer. Would appreciate any suggestions. :confused:

    Nevermind... I've just been talking to myself

    Was pointed to Tweakui by another board and fixed the problem via the Control Panel tab of same. The F drive (new CD-RW drive designation) was unchecked. Checked and all is well.

    Do have a question tho: How else, without Tweakui, would one check that function? The CD-ROM in Device Manager was all kosher and designated as "F" but just had lost the icon in My Computer.:confused:
