Just in case anyone else has a similar issue, I have a workable solution. (Not the perfect solution but I'm up and running.)
Downloaded Alcohol 120% and installed. Still no drive available to burn.
Opened Notepad and copied and pasted the following text:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}]
"UpperFilters"=-
"LowerFilters"=-
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Cdr4_2K]
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Cdralw2k]
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Cdudf]
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\UdfReadr]
Saved Notepad file as update.reg to desktop.
Doubleclicked update.reg file and merged into registry. Rebooted. Opened Alcohol burning program and was able to run/burn cd roms again.
Whew! (Off to un-install Roxio...it still shows no drive selected and still no options to select one in the drop down box.)
Yesi :)

Easiest way is to "Google" for your drive by manufacturer, and, modelnumber, with the term "firmware." Most links will give you a device toflash your firmware. If that doesn't work, tryuninstalling/reinstalling the programs and see if they will detect youdrive then.

I wish I could remember what I did with my other laptop.....it reallydid solve the problem. If I can figure out which program made thechanges that caused this problem, it's outta here! (Yes, it did workbefore.)
Yesi :)
