I lost the CD drive in my PC. How do I replace it?

I'm on Windows XP. The shortcut on the desktop does not. The logo in 'my computer' is missing.

When you start your computer, it scans for all devices he can find, and then boots.  You need to know if it detects in your CD drive.  To do this, look for your CD drive in "Device Manager":
Start-> Run-> "devmgmt.msc".
To start the Device Manager, look for in CD players and see if your drive is and if this is the case, look for problems (such as an exclamation yellow or red X).  If it does not appear at all, try to open your computer and check that none of the connectors have fallen out of your CD player.

HTH,
