DVD disappears (somewhat different)
Ok, so I've read many topics regarding disappearing DVD drive in Vista x86. Now my problem is somewhat different. The drive has disappeared and a reboot will not bring it back. Neither will scanning for a hardware change in the device manager. I've looked into the registry hack too, but both fields (upper or lower filter) are non-existent. It's not a matter of re-seating the cables either as the drive is visible in the bios, I can boot from it if I wish and the drive works perfectly fine in XP. I've also tried installing up to date drivers (it's a pioneer DVR-K16) but am unable as the drive is non-existent, in such that the setup program cannot find the appropriate piece of hardware to update. Anyone has had this kind of a situation? Any luck with a solution? -- nietsen |

Ok, this seems to be going somewhere. But, slight problem at step 6, I do not have a Volume{GUID} folder under drives.... -- nietsen |
