I doubt that would help.

I have a new Lenovo Windows 7 desktop PC and every time I play a CD

if I put another CD in, it will not auto play, and the drive is not

reboot it comes back, but only for the first time I put a CD in, and
does the same thing when I eject it.
Any ideas how to prevent it from vanishing from the system?

That's a strange problem. How about go into Device Manager and uninstall
the DVD drive and then reboot? Have you tried any of the options when
you right-click the DVD drive?

I have tried uninstalling and then rebooting to see if it found it. I
have to manually find it again, and then it works 1 time again, up
until it is ejected.
I don't know if it's a Win7 problem or a hardware problem. I've never
seen anything like this.

I do conjecture that doing `eject' reports some so massive a problem
to the OS, so the OS has nothing to do but shutdown the drive. Given
that good drives are about $20 now, would not it be more construtive
to do voodoo-repairing by checking a different drive?

Hope this helps,
Ilya
