dvd / cd roms not working

<< < (2/6) > >>

Simon:
I was going to suggest checking cables and jumpers, but I wouldn't have thought they'd work at all if they were wrong. 

Something like this came up before, and I seem to recall there's a registry entry you can either change or remove, for it to be reset.

Simon:
What OS is this, Terry?

TR:
changed/deleted the upper and lower filters in the registry  ;D

This is a XP set up

sam:
the fact that it worked on installing suggests XP is to blame...

.. oh I see the last post.

Rik:
Damn, I was just going to do my conjuring trick. ;D

If DVD/CDs become ‘lost’, code 39 error “Windows cannot load the driver. The driver may be missing or corrupted (Code 39)”.

Go to Device Manager, uninstall CD & DVD drivers. Uninstall Primary and Secondary IDE channels under IDE/ATAPI Controllers - ignore requests to re-boot machine.

Go to Regedit, navigate to key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

Look for the key which refers to DVD/CD-ROM drives. Delete the subkey UpperFilters, also LowerFilters if it is present.

Re-boot the machine. All should now be well.
