To resolve this issue, follow these steps:
1. Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).
[Start > Run and type: REGEDIT , and hit enter]
2. Locate the UpperFilters value under the following key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
3. On the Edit menu, click Delete, and then click OK.
4. Locate the LowerFilters value under the same key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
5. On the Edit menu, click Delete, and then click OK.
6. Quit Registry Editor.NOTE: After you remove the Upperfilters value and the Lowerfilters value,
if you notice lost functionality in a particular program, such as CD recording software, you may need
to reinstall that software. If the problem recurs, consult with the software vendor for assistance.
7. Restart your computer.

| My friend just installed XP on his computer using the CD and now,
| ironically, XP doesn't detect the CD-Rom drive on the system. No CD-Rom
| drive in either Device Manager, Windows Explorer, or My Computer. The Add
| Hardware Wizard doesn't detect a CD-rom drive either. All the cables are
| intact as well. What could be wrong or do I need to provide more specific
| information on his system? Thanks.
