This happened to me last week and fortunately, I had mad a ghost copy of my
hard drive a few weeks earlier.

I just opend Ghost and reinstalled the ghost image and the drives showed up.

If you don't have Ghost, I suggest you buy it and make an image next time
you do a "clean install" of your operating system.

I know this is not a solution to your immediate problem, only a solution to
your next one!

Good Luck!

Goto http://aumha.org/win5/a/xpcd.php#problems
See the second "problem" (read the caveats)
Run the provided registry patch

That should fix your problem (basically, a filter driver is missing or
non-operational, the registry patch will delete the filter drivers
references for your cdrom(s))

Basically, the reg file from above carries out the steps displayed at this
website

(It'll fix code 41 errors too as per the contents of the last kb article)
