My suggestion would be to uninstall the software for the virtual drive, then delete the drive from device manager.
After a reboot I suspect your dvd drive will re-appear. Then you can re-install your virtual drive. If the same problem recurs use different virtual drive software.

Forget DVD ROM just vanishing my new 250GB HDD just dissapeared. I tried to reset my pc and see if problems still occured but my HDD is not there. Any help??
If it helps all i can say before it vanished is that at the bottom a small exclamation mark come in a yellow triangle saying write to F drive failed or was delayed or something like that.

Have a look in event log to see what the actual error says.
Try unplugging the drive, reboot & remove it from device manager (you will need to select view/show hidden devices), then plug the drive back in and reboot again.
Depending on the error it could be faulty hardware (drive or motherboard) or a faulty driver.
Next time, please start your own thread.
Edit: nevermind, I just noticed that you did.
