re: Win2000 not recognizing CD ROM Sunday, April 21, 2002 at 6:09 pm Windows 2000 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by david (2 messages posted) OK FOLKS! I fixed it. Let me say, that I am not certain what caused it, but I am guessing it was the installation of Adaptec Easy CD-creator. MS references bugs with this app screwing up the CD rom drive. I have a 2nd pc that I can use for cd burning, so what I am about to tell you may not ensure getting EasyCD to work along with your CD drive. But I can at least tell you how to get your CD drive back. Based on the except below from MS, I deleted the upperfilters and lowerfilters reg keys under the reg path below. My CD rom came back after reboot. As with all reg changes, be careful, make a backup...etc. Method One Remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters values completely from the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} On Sunday, April 21, 2002 at 4:58 pm, david wrote: >I have the same problem....NOW. > >It WAS working fine before! > >It's more than just an IDE issue...I have a Plextor USB CD-RW that is having the >same issue as the IDE CD-ROM drive...same stupid error in Device Manager. > >I think MS has to get involved.
