Post subject: No Optical Drives Vista 64
Archived from groups: microsoft>public>windows>vista>hardware_devices (more info?)

My Setup: I have Vista Home Premium 64, Abit Fata1ty AN8 motherboard, Opteron
185 a 939 Processor, I did have 4 X 512 Corsair PC3200XL, but removed two so
it is 2 X 512 now. I am using a ATI X1950 XTX video card. I have 80 Gig and
320 Gig Seagate Sata drive the OS is on the large drive, a expired trial
copy of XP64 on the small drive. I have a floppy. I have two Lite-On DVD
Burners, both IDE.

In the past week I have removed half of my Ram as stated and switched a
Logitech MX518 optical mouse for a Logitech G5 Laser Mouse. My floppy Drive
would not recognize a Disk so I put in a new drive. that's it hardware wise

Software I added the latest 64 bit Logitech Setpoint software for the G5
mouse, the 7.7 version of ATI Driver for Vista 64, and Office 2007
Professional (I had and still have Office 2000 Premium on the machine.

I think I have said all that is important as to my hardware and software.

Except my problem(s)...

In "My Computer" neither Optical drive shows up, they are in 'Device
Manager' and they say there is a corrupted driver error 39, but when I try to
update the driver it says I have the latest and greatest.

Oh and device manager says the floppy is working fine to and while "My
Computer does see it, it will not recognize that it has a disk.

Any ideas are appreciated, Thank You

It's for XP, but apparently the same problem can affect Vista. (I haven't
had to try it myself.)

The only trouble I've had with floppy drives is when the cable is reversed.
(The drive light stays lit continuously.) I presume that's not your problem,
but I wish that the makers would key floppy drives like IDE ones.


Return address scrambled. Replace nkbob with bobkn.

Thanks Bob, usually the floppy's light will stay on if it's back wards, but
yes I should try that to rule it out.

I am really more concerned with my optical drives,, I have tried to disable
reload the driver, and then enable, but Vista just says my drivers are up to
date. I tried un-installing them in Device Manager and then rebooted, when
Vista loaded up it recognized the hardware, but could not install them.

You know they worked before as that is how I updated to Office 2007
Professional

I'm not smart enough to figure this out

Delete the Drives in Device Manager and reboot. When they are
re-initialized select search web for newer drivers.

Sweet Hot Petunias Call Bear! That Worked! I have my drives back!

the "Automatic" 'Download Guide help" would not activate so I had to use
method Two to manually edit the register. On e does need to be carefull to
recall that there is a big difference between 'clicking' and 'expanding'

it wanted to first delete the 'UpperFilters' and then the 'Lowerfilters', I
only had the lower filters which had some 64 bit connection.

I did it and it 'Dood it' Thanks

You're welcome.

Do you have Nero, Roxio or iTunes installed? These programs seem to be the
major cause of this problem. I believe this fix will also disable burning from
iTunes -- but that is APPLE's problem.

Good it solved your issue.

Major bummer to have no CD/DVD drives!
