Default DVD Drive Issues in x64


I hope I stuck this in the right section.


Been having a little trouble with my system and thought I would post
here. I'm running x64 Vista and I keep having issues with my Plextor
Px760 Drive not appearing. I researched this issue and found out about
removing the upper and lower filters in the registry. I deleted my
UpperFilters key (I didn't have any lower) and this did fix the issue,
BUT created a new one.

Now iTunes brings up a message every single time I load it about my
Drives not being found or usable or something and to reinstall iTunes,
which I have tried several times and hasn't fixed it.

I fix one problem, and the other one comes back. I can't seem to get
BOTH fixed, though for right now I rather have my drive visible to
windows and just live with the iTunes error.

My drive is IDE, it's the only IDE drive I have in the system. If I was
to get a IDE to SATA adapter, could that fix my problem? I have no idea
if interface would change this problem at all, but thought I'd ask.

iTunes on a 64 bit?? Call Apple and ask which driver or program is compatible with using iTunes on a 64bit OS

Bumping this to see if any new eyes see it.

I have never resolved this problem and not sure if there is a work
around. I don't even know if this is iTunes, Windows, or my drive
itself.!

If I delete the Upper/Lower Filters like I read on one site to do, I
will have my drive and Windows again and it works. Trade off is every
time I load iTunes, I get the error message about needing to reinstall
iTunes, which actually doesn't help.

If I put the filter Registry entries back, then iTunes works but my
drive is not seen or has an exclamation next to it in device manager.

Any suggestions on a complete fix?
