itunes made cdrw disappear

[rdegler]

Is there some setting in windows XP pro that was turned off by itunes?

Since I have installed iTunes 4.1.1 my cdrw has disappeared from my computer. I get the yellow ! that the drivers are installed but the hard ware is not found. This continues even if I change drive to my old 40x cdrw, change ribbon cable, check all conections. The cd shows up a boot time, has power, but not found by Win XP Pro.

It worked fine than the next day it was not there. the only change has been updating iTunes.

Anybody with similar experience or solutions.

I like itunes works great with my ipod, so I am happy with it. I would like to keep it.

The problem exists with itunes and other cdrw burning software. I did this fix, unistalled Roxio EZ CD and then reinstalled EZ CD and every thing was great.

I was able to fix the problem with the Microsoft solution
