Running Windows XP Pro on a single workstation.
My MATSHITA DVD-ROM SR-8584A was working fine the other day, but now it is convinced it is only a CD ROM. The diagnostic tools I've run also seem to insist it is a cd-rom.

If you still want to resurrect the old DVD drive, perhaps try uninstalling the entry for it in device manager, rebooting, and letting Windows reinstall it. You could also test it out in another PC.
