My CDRW is not being rcognized the drivers are present but it's not recognized. There is power going to it cause the door opens. This
is a Samsung TS-H492. The same thing happens when I try the
Lite-ON. This was working fine the other day. Any ideas ?

Check the IDE connection? It that's a no-go, try booting into a Linux Live (knoppix or Slax Live) and see if they see it. That usually rules out software problems, unless it's a really obscure device.

I did a system restore and that brought it back to normal.
