CD/DVD Drive missing!

Hey all,

Bear with me, as I am an in-training IT student.  Just began not too long ago. 

I did a clean install/upgrade to Windows 7 professional and everything was wonderful and worked great, no issues at all.  However I do have an issue now.  For one of my classes I had to use a live Linux cd for programming.  It would not work, so I ejected the CD and rebooted the computer.  Since then, my laptop and Windows 7 does not recognize that I have a CD/DVD drive at all. It's not intermittent, it's just gone!  Google has not given me any clear answers...

I have an HP Pavilion DV9715 laptop, and the drive is internal.  I never bothered before or cared to know the manufacturer and now I have no idea.  This is what I have tried, I checked device manager and it does not show up there, I tried to install a new device, but Windows 7 does not recognize any devices to be installed.  I thought perhaps the drive was bad, but I don't think it is.  Right after I lost the drive, about a week later, it randomly re-appeared and worked for about a day.  Since it disappeared again it hasn't come back.  Any insight would be wonderful.

Thanks for your patience with me!

Ashley
