re: all my CD rom drives suddenly dissappeared Saturday, December 27, 2003 at 9:21 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Chris (9 messages posted) There are 2 reg keys that screw the device, I removed them both and re-scaned for PnP (or rebooted) after removing the device & all was well. The keys are: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325 -11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} - "Upperfilters" and "Lowerfilters". You need to use Regit (start>run>regedit). On different operating systems they can be located at slightly different spots so if you can't find "Upperfilters" and "Lowerfilters" at the above spot do a registry search for them. Also DO A REGISTRY BACKUP first especially if your not used to registry editing. There are web sites that address this issue on the internet but hard to find.
