DVD/CD Burner Driver Issues
I installed Vista without a hitch. Yeah, there a couple of minor issues that
I can deal with until new drivers come out...with the exception of one thing. Vista no longer recognizes my Plextor DVD Burner nor my Backup Sony CDR Burner. Nothing wrong with them, the BIOS has no problems and the Device Manager list them properly. I've tried uninstalling the drivers and reboot but Vista always fails when it tries to update or reinstall. Hmm, had no problem for a few days, then one day, they're gone. What now? I've checked Windows Update...nothing there. I can't install the Plextor drivers since it doesn't recognize my burner and the Sony CD won't work, cause the drive isn't there. I can't reinstall without the drives working. I'm at a loss and am in desperate mode. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. |

I think this Vista DVD drive recognizing problem may be quite common. See a
few postings above /later. I have the same problem. The drives were there then disappear then reappear when I reboot. Do you by any chance have a ASUS P5W DH motherboard. Also on the web at other places I see people have DVD recognition problems with Vista. Anybody got a suggestion "whiwo" wrote in message ... I installed Vista without a hitch.

Thanks everyone, looking at the posts, I can now see this is a Vista issue.
Just for clarity sake, My motherboard is a Asus K8N 32 Deluxe, AMD Athlon 64 Processor 4000+ 2.41 ghz, Plextor DVDR PX 716al + Sony CRX320EE, 2 gig Memory & Creative Audigy Z2S, which no longer works as of this morning!!! I can't reinstall XP without my drives and I'm moving beyond frustrated to flat out ****ed! "europeandi" wrote: I got a similar problem!

Okay,
First click on "Start" then "Run". Type "Regedit" and click "OK". You will be taken into your system Registry. The proceed to got to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}. Once there, on the right hand side you will see "Upper Filters" and "Lower Filters". Delete These and reboot your system. Once rebooted, you'll see that your burners have returned. These filters are generally placed there by your burning software such as Nero or whatever you use. The software will still function without the filters. Hope this helps. One last thing, before deleting the filters, make sure you save a copy of the registry (in your documents) just in case something goes wrong. If you follow these steps, it shouldn't.

Thanks whiwo, I fould only a "LowerFilters" there. I deleted that and the
drives are there. Since the problem was random will wait a while to be sure it solved the problem. Any idea what the software uses these entries for? "whiwo" wrote in message ...
