CD-RW and DVD-ROM not recognized in My Computer

I've been battling this for over a month now. I've tried removing the upper
and lower filters from the registry. I've tried removing iTunes (like one
person suggested). I can't even reformat and reinstall XP because I can't get
the CD-ROM drive to work enough to read the XP System Restore discs. If I
could I would dump Vista as quick as I could.

No DVD-Rom means I can reinstall Vista Home Premium.

No CD-Rom means I can't reinstall XP.

They worked for a while. Sometimes the computer wouldn't recognize them and
I could reboot and there they would be, but now nothing at all no matter what
I do.

Please help.

Well I deleted the upper filters from that very registry key, but I could
never find the lower filters to delete them in the same key.

Still no luck here. No CD-RW or DVD-ROM showing up in my computer. This all
worked just fine before installing Vista Home PRemium then it started every
now and then. I could fix it at first with a reboot, but that doesn't help
anymore.
