Damn!,
....Here is what is now happening - geez, i though i had this conquered! The
cd-rom icon did in fact appear however, after a few reboots and even overnight (this morning) i notice that the icon is gone again!
. WTF!!....
....All the system settings are holding just fine (clock, etc)...I had to go back to the registry and delete a setting (deleted a single number, then, re-entered it) without hitting "apply/enter" and then re-booted and it would reappear....In effect, i changed nothing....What is going on here?...The drive is good.
EDITED - UPDATE-
...Since i had to completely dismantle the laptop, that involved me into removing the cd/dvd optical drive. So, i removed the drive and "re-seated" it and so far, it appears to be working. May have been that it was poorly seated with an intermittent contact into it's mating socket...Will monitor and will advise if any changes.
