| Windows 2000 has just stop recognizing my CD-ROM, CD-RW and DVD-ROM!! I
suspect a corrupt registry! Any ideas?? Have tried reinstalling drivers,
tried removing cds and let windows redetect! Both failed!

| Check that your IDE cable are nice and tight. I had a call out the other
night and it was a cable that was not seated properly - caused by a PS fan
that was coated in dust and out of balance, combined with a poorly fitting
lead.

| This happened also to my system, due to a loose cable. However, you say
that all three drives are out?
Well then, unless you have SCSI then this would point to something else.
But I am guessing that you do not have 3 CD drives in one system.

| I do have three in one system! Bios is detecting them and if I uninstall
them, windows redetects them, installs drivers and then they go bad again!

| Think I just figured it out! Deleted the Upper and Lower Filters in the
Registry at:
Local
Machine/System/CurrentControlSet/Control/Class/4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002
BE10318
Rebooted and Drives are back, have yet to test them though, especially the
DVD-RW and CD-RW

If you're using Easy CD Creator and W2k or XP, it could be an
incompatibility issue. There are lower filters and upper filters keys
in the registry that need to be removed if that is the case. I forget
exactly where they are, but this can be found on the MS KB, and also
in HP's tech support pages. I talked a few people through the
procedure over the phone, and it's pretty straight-forward. It
requires the use of regedit, though. Step by step, one step at a time,
read the procedure over a few times first if you are not comfortable
with regedit.
Heck, I did a little search myself. If you need it, from Plextor's
website...
"The resolution for these Error Codes is the same for both operating
systems. Completely remove the Upper Filters and Lower Filters values
from the registry keys for your operating system. Refer to Windows
2000 article number Q270008 or, for Windows XP, article number
Q314060."

| I have exactly the same problem ! I don't feel good in regedit though -
maybe you can help ?
I opened the regedit tree up as your line below, but that then opens up to
yet more lines - what's my next step ?
thanks in advance

| Hey, I'm running Windows ME(sad, I know), and I've run into the same problem. I deleted the IDE controller through Device Manager, restarted Windows, Windows recognized the CD Drives and re-installed the IDE Controllers, and yet I still can't access the CD drives through explorer or My Computer. Like the previous person, should I try messing with the registry? I don't know where to edit, however.
Thanks for any help! |
