I've never had this happen before--they both suddenly aren't functioning and showing up with an exclamation point in the device manager. I tried reinstalling both, same problem, they are not even showing up in explorer.

Two things:
1- You might have a virus - check that out thoroughly.
2- Try removing the drives from DevMgr, shutdown, reboot and let the drives be redetected.
. You didn't tell me whether you were running XP. It seems like just about every other message is about someone losing their CD drives under XP or Win2k...
