Every so often, when using my PC, my disc drives suddenly dissapear when i go to "my computer".

And theres no way for it to show until I reboot, and even then, it doesnt come back.

I know the hard drive is still working though, because I'm still able to save pictures onto it, and other media.

What gives?
 
Have you stayed in the 'My Computer' folder for awhile? Is your Hard Drive a 5400rpm?

Leave it there, They'll eventually show up...Its just slow. :p
 
Test the molex connectors. I've seen devices disapear before and almost everytime it turned out to be a power supply that was dying.
