I have recently installed Windows 8 Enterprise edition on my Lenovo Z580 laptop. After I have mounted an ISO image to install Visual Studio 2012 by Hyper-V, my DVD-drive disappeared.

I unmounted and rejected the ISO afterwards and even stopped Hyper-V service.
It's not shown in My Computer or Disk Management or Device Manager.

Do you have any suggestion?

Try to run this command from a command prompt with admin rights:

reg.exe add "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\atapi\Controller0" /f /v EnumDevice1 /t REG_DWORD /d 0x00000001

Now reboot and see if this fixes it.
