Like Patrice, I also have a Gigabyte motherboard, AMD64, 2xSATA drives, 1xIDE drive and a Phillips DVD drive (not copying Patrice, just coincidence) and can confirm that I´m also experiencing the same problem. Also when loading up 7.10 and doing a "update-manager -d" dist upgrade, also have the blank cd icon on my desktop, with the CD/DVD drive being unavailable (K3b states that no CD drive detected. Brassero is less helpful). Additionally seem to be unable to mount the drive manually. I´m a relative newbie, but will help if you tell me what to do, in jargon I´d be able to understand.
