Hey Guyz, My Drives have dissapeared, They dont show in My Computer, Device
manager, BIOS or BIOS Start-up (Safe-Mode & Normal)
My specs are -
Win XP Pro
P4 2.66
512 MB Ram
1 x 20Gb Western Digital HDD
1 x 120gb Maxtor HDD
A-Open DVD +- R/RW
Artec CD-RW
Floppy Drive
I have/Had Nero 6 on the PC but 2 days ago, I tried to write a disk and
nothing happened, I thought something may have conflicted with it somewhere
so I restarted and the drives dissapeared, So I uninstalled Nero thinking it
was that and re-installed it, No luck, I uninstalled it again and restarted
and the drives were still gone.
Last night I tried swapping IDE 1 & 2 controllers with my HDD's and no luck,
The HDD's did read from the 2nd controller but the drives were not detected
in the 1st one, Thinging the ribbon cable was gone I replaced that with a new
one I recieved with my Mobo, and still no luck.
I then rolled the system back to a previous restoration point and that didnt
work either.
After all this I took the 'net and tried the few things I could find, I have
tried one of the things from another post in this forum, About deleting some
registry entries, But this hasn't seemed to work either, Although when I did
go though my registry i could only find LOWERFILTERS and could not locate the
UPPERFILTERS entry anywhere inside, unless this is under a different registry
entry, I don't know, But I'm at wits end and I'm hoping one of you guyz can
help me out here
