Help ! my PC doesn't recognise any more my DVD and CD R/W drives

Hello everybody !

I just don't know what I did or what happened.

my PC doesn't see any more my DVD and CD R/W drives.
in device manager there is a yellow exclamation mark near each of these
drives, and an indication of Windows not being able to load the
corresponding pilots which, according to what's indicated in the property
box, could be missing or corrupted.

I restored to a previous date, to no avail.
I tried to uninstall each of thes 2 devices. No change.

anybody ?

thanks in adavnce for your precious help.

brgds,
Daniel
