Have you got Musicmatch Jukebox (MMJB) version 6.X installed? If so, this is the problem. It is a very common problem. Seems MMJB has cd burning drivers that conflict with Nero. Uninstall MMJB, Nero will work fine, and your drives will reappear in Explorer. Do NOT reinstall MMJB version 6.X. Install MMJB version 7.0 (just released), which seems to coexist well with Nero.
