Could also be upper & lower filters interfering with the devices. CD
burning, back up & anti-protection software can cause this.
This site has tools for viewing the filters:

I go with this suggestion also, especially if you have mapped network
drives. This has caused me a few head scratches in the past. Also you
could load a CD Linux distro to check if h/ware is OK.

OK I feel like this is a computer 101 question, but here goes.
Windows XP Pro SP1 can't see my CD drives in Explorer, My
Computer, or any Windows programs. But they show up in Device
Manager as normal. I have deleted them & restarted as well as
reinstalled the IDE controller. It wasn't showing up in Device
Manager until I reinstalled it. After multiple restarts no joy!!
Any suggestions???
