I read the article and it seems like this should be done only when your DVD
burner wont work at all but mine will work if i use nero. The only thing it
wont work on is windows dvd maker. Does this artile apply to that as well?

Well it is obvious that Microsoft loves selling soft but once a problem they
don't even matter to look to it.

This problem is not a standalone problem and is already reported on several
forums without any answer from Microsoft. This thread here is started a month
ago and you can see, they don't look at it.

Next time I buy a mac.

I have a similar problem with different hardwa the wrong device is
recognized as the disc burner, the read disc burner is not in the
explorer list, nor in the corresponding lists of the other windows
applications.

I have to admit, at least my system (Vista-64bit Home Premium on Asus
P5K with Intel E6850) is "creative", because it recognizes the disc
burner (LG GSA-H54N on IDE/ATAPI) only as a reading device and the
CD/DVD player (LG GDR-H20N on SATA) as a writing device!

In a previous test installation of XP-32bit: no problem! Even a linux
installation gives no problem. (So, why a Mac Charly... keep the
hardware and get linux!)


I tried the solution of kb929461, but my registry file already has
no Upper- and Lower-filters under the relevant subkey.
This is confirmed by running “devcon stack gencdrom”:


-IDE\CDROMHL-DT-ST_DVD-ROM_GDRH20N____________0L02____\5&643F929&0&1.0.0-
- Name: HL-DT-ST DVD-ROM GDRH20N ATA Device-
- Setup Class: {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} CDROM-
- Controlling service:-

- Setup Class: {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} CDROM-
- Controlling service:-
- Cdrom-

-2 matching device(s) found.-



At least according the device name, the correct distinction between the
reading and burning hardware is made!
::::
Who knows the most efficient way to send complains to Microsoft?
I already gave them a negative, but detailed, feedback after kb929461.
Will they help us to solve the problem?
