After using UXTheme Patcher, VistaVG Ultimate Theme, and Transform XP to Vista my PC looks/works GREAT. Except one BIG thing, I lost my F: drive (DVD burner) in My Computer and Device Manager. How can I get it back?

Thanks. I figured it out. The power cable was worn/cut by fan and not working. rI fixed the power cable (splice/solder) and all is better.

Hello. I appreciate your work here and am very impressed with your VistaVG theme. However, I experienced a huge problem. You said to use the UXTHEME patcher to patch my system if I'm using Service Pack 3. Upon a successful patch, my computer rebooted, only to see that at my login screen, i got a winlogon.exe error which prevented me from accessing Windows again. I had to reinstall Windows a second time on the same partition and now my computer is in a terrible state. Please explain.
