Lost the DVD and CDRW functions

[Shirl]

Hi

It use to work, i dont know when it stopped as i dont use it regularly, but
i wanted to write some files today on my DVD, but it just doesnt want to
record, nor does the CD-RW drive i got as i tried that too.

Without the Disk in they read:

CD-RW Drive (F)
DVD-RW Drive (G)

but as soon as a disks in i notice they read

CD Drive (F)
CD Drive (G)

I tried right clicking properties in recording tab, and enabling the
recording on drive on both and makes no difference.

Also I tried what i read on a website change in registry for the drive type
from Type 1 to 2, and that didnt work.

Any ideas?

F is a Sony CD-RW CRX230E
G is a Lite On SOHW 1213S

thanks
Shirl

Go to Start/Run, and type DEVMGMT.MSC , highlight the CD and DVD devices,
Action menu, "Uninstall", then restart Windows, to find the device drivers
again automatically.

It could have happened when i put in more hardrives drives as thats the only
thing that i changed a couple of months ago.
I have
a: floppy
c: parallel connection Hard Drive
d: parallel connection Hard Drive
e: parallel connection Hard Drive (partition of d)
f: CD/RW Drive
g: DVD/RW Drive
h: This is a Virtual Drive i used once to open files and made itself H
i: SCSI Harddrive
J: SCSI Harddrive

any help to get the DVD and CDRW drives to record would be great.

Also try the following. You should back up the registry before making
changes:

Click Start, Run, type Regedit, click OK.
Locate this Registry Key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class
Key Name: {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
Value Data: [Delete All Value Data from UpperFilters and LowerFilters]
Note: Do not delete the Key or the Multi-String Values. Delete only the
data values.
Exit Registry and Reboot

I have the same problem only started a week or so ago, I know the drives are
good I tried two diffrent drives. I can put them in a USB enclosure and they
work fine.

I tried the filters fix, I tried reinstalling all of my burning programs,
switched IDE cables, changed BIOS settings. I figure it has to be an update
to one of the programs I have (probally XP it's the only auto update I have
turned on). My last resort is to reload XP.

Hi

Did you find any solution of this problem? Cause I have the same
problem with my two dvd recorders on two different computers - don't
know what's going on.
What could be useful - my dvd recorder is found as a SCSI CDROM - I've
installed all of drivers to it's motherboard, everything and still
nothing - I don't have dvd recorder.
If you know something about this - let me know.
Greetings Mati
