Whaton|y SG

ndmmxiaomayi SG

Yup, create a new file using Notepad and copy and paste.

I forgot one extra step:

Double click on it to merge with your current registry.

It will prompt you, when prompted, click Yes.

Can't detect CD drive how to reformat?

Unless he got a spare CD drive or is booting up via a thumbdrive.

I needa get it fix by tml! because my bro will need the disc drive to do things

Hmm... open up Registry editor (Start > Run and type in regedit)

Navigate to here:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

See if there is an UpperFilters value on the right hand side.

If yes, delete UpperFilters.

Also try uninstalling any CD/DVD burning software and reinstall it again.

TS, your lappy got a hidden partition for recovery? go check it out in your lappy manual

Dunno i find the correct onenot. . I dun see any UpperFilters in the folder there. How to navigate or search to there?

manyu882 SG

hmm, if u want u can check that your motherboard detected your disc drive while bootup.. if it can't be detected.. i suspect that something wrong with the hardware.. isn't sure which one..(maybe the cables? lots of possibilities which i afraid that i can't conclude)

to check, reboot computer, press f8 while your manufacturer splash screen is up... den go under boot sequence.. if u can see your disc drive then its fine.. if can't, seek for your manufacturer for better assistance

Whaton|y SG

Thanks for helping. My friend ask me try using this method before. But i cant find any Boot Sequence.

I must find any solution before tml. If i call the manufactaurer tml they are closed. haiz

ndmmxiaomayi SG

It's not a folder.

UpperFilters is on the right hand side.

On the left hand side is the bolded parts.

manyu882 SG

how about boot device.. got any option/word which links "boot" and "device" , go have a look

Whaton|y SG

Oo. Then im correct le. I dun see any upperfilters but lowerfilters

ndmmxiaomayi SG

Hmm...

Tried uninstalling the burning software?

Whaton|y SG

Sorry for the very looong reply. I just received my Windows Vista installation disc liao. But cant install to my computer xD.

Which burning software? later uninstall cannot install back de.

ndmmxiaomayi SG

Can. Uninstall and reinstall the burning CD/DVD software.

Whaton|y SG

How?? U sure if i uninstall and install may have the drive le?

kawasaki2 SG

Maybe. Try to see if it works. Maybe the software is interfering with the normal operation of the drive.
Which cd/dvd burning software are you using, if any?

Whaton|y SG

Sonic.

ndmmxiaomayi SG

Uninstall via Add/Remove in Control Panel.

MS states that. And most of the time it works. It could be the burning software that created some registry keys that interfere with the CD/DVD drivers and uninstalling and reinstalling the software will work.
