    Possibilities:
    1. Some software you've installed has disabled it
    2. The drivers need to be reloaded for some reason
    3. The drive has physically failed and needs to be replaced


    Quick try: run a System Restore and choose a date several months back... fingers crossed.

    Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore

    Remember to pick a date back a few months to restore to.
