Hey guys! I have an odd problem I'm totally helpless to fix.

First off, I've got a Dell laptop (with Vista 32B). The disc drive I have is a TSST corp DVD+-RW TS-L632D ATA Device.

I was backing up a DVD this afternoon, and everything was going as normal. I use DVD Shrink to create an ISO, take out the DVD, put a blank one in, and then open up DVD Decrypter. To my surprise, DVD Decrypter doesn't see a destination drive. I try to search through the possible destination drives (1...) but there are no drives there to select. I thought maybe DVD Decrypter was confused, so I open up My Computer to make sure my computer was still recognizing the DVD drive. Nope. Nothing there. No drive in Device Manager either. The button to open the drive won't even respond. This has happened multiple times (not 100%), and it always happens after I use DVD Shrink to create an ISO and put in a blank disc. Thankfully, restarting made the computer recognize the drive again.

Well, I'm stumped. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks for listening!
