RIght everyone since my prevoius post i have now managed to get the PC back up and running (thanks for the comment some were very helpful) i used system restore. BUT... i went back in checked all drives were correxct and present and all appreared to be ok i even played a cd with Media player. I then downloaded the new itunes 7 and guess what the cd/dvd drives have been disabled again, and they wont update or reinstall, it looks like i will have to do another system restore. Getting really annoyed with this now. Does anyone know off any issue with a packard bell and Itunes (i know it sounds stupid but i am running low on ideas)

Here's a guy that found the solution;

I disabled the ipod service in the Services control panel applet, made sure the ituneshelper.exe and the ipodservice.exe were not running, and lo and behold, everything started working again.
Posting this in the hope it stops someone else from tearing all their hair out over an evening.
Hope this helps, seems that itunes7 has installed other stuff with it that screws everything up.........good luck .............

try doing another system restore then just run an older version of itunes, but if i was you i would check in the device manager and check if the hardware is somehow disabled

If the problem started after you downloaded itunes 7 I suggest you uninstall that software and see if it works again.
It could be a bad download of itunes
