Did you check the physical cable connections to the CD drives?
Just wondering, but how do you have your hadr drives se up with hda and hdb your cdrom drives and not your hard drives?

hdb being setup as cdrom drive is not a problem. i guess linux internally links the cdrom drive to hdb(which eventually becomes th cdrom drive)

Been like that from the start. I guess that's Ubuntu for you, I did not have the choice at install, so I never bothered to change it.
The cables was secure, windows picked them up, and it was possible to boot from them.
Problem is now solved, I've updated some packages, rebooted and now its back.
At the same time my two hard drive's icons dissapeared on the desktop and under "Computer." It also dissapeared under "Disk mounter." At least they are still active under /media. Guess I will have to make a link to them, unless someone clever can give me the way to add it as my icons as before?
