If you mean the Drive wont open.....under the Drive Door on the Left side, you should see a pinhole...put a paperclip or something like that into the hole till you hit the latch...the door should open.
If Windows is having problems with it...shutdown your system & unplug the cable from the back of the drive..now bootup & make sure its not showing...Defrag...shut down again & plug that drive back in again...bootup & check that it is there & working right.

I have no clue what you are asking.............

Hdd = Hard drive last I looked then you go into talking about nero and roxio.
.... If you are talking about a cd rom you should try what lion said that should fix it unless your cdrom is damaged.

If its a hard drive your having an issue with erm I have no clue xD
