Im sorry but i cant speak english very well.

I had found a tricky thing^^

you must start regedit ( start -> run [See screenshots at the bottom] Type here: regedit )

search the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Control/Class/
search for "4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318"
if you doesn't find anything, search only for a part of the string.

now search the propertys UpperFilter an LowersFilter and kill the value. If only one prop. is there, you must kill only the one value

on my laptop (http://www.computerhilfen.com/explanation-l-Laptop.html) it works!!
 

Hey DeadMatt, you are a genious. I arrived here seeking desperatly for a solution or a driver, (http://www.computerhilfen.com/explanation-d-Driver.html) because suddenly my drive stopped working. The laptop (http://www.computerhilfen.com/explanation-l-Laptop.html) is a fujitsu N6460 about two weeks old, vista home premium. Am pretty sure windows (http://www.computerhilfen.com/explanation-w-Windows.html) update (http://www.computerhilfen.com/explanation-u-Update.html) ruined the driver (http://www.computerhilfen.com/explanation-d-Driver.html) settings, but now is working again.
As an additional problem, I could not read the drivers cd, because well, no cd!
Your recommendation on tweaking the registry (http://www.computerhilfen.com/explanation-r-Registry.html) worked perfectly.

Thanks buddy.

DeadMatt - thanks man, you trick is really helped me :)

DeadMatts solution worked a treat. Got my DVD (http://www.computerhilfen.com/explanation-d-DVD.html) drive back and working. I used CD's to install various software (http://www.computerhilfen.com/explanation-s-Software.html) options on day of new notebook (http://www.computerhilfen.com/explanation-n-Notebook.html) delivery then DVD (http://www.computerhilfen.com/explanation-d-DVD.html) drive dissapeared.  I reckon it must have occured during a microsoft auto update...anyway, thanks to DeadMatt, all fixed. 

Cheers

How to open the "Registry Editor" (regedit):

Go to "start", then select "run". Type now the command "regedit" into the textfield (see screenshots below).


Please be careful and search for advise when unsure! Wrong Changes in the registry (http://www.computerhilfen.com/explanation-r-Registry.html) can destroy Windows (http://www.computerhilfen.com/explanation-w-Windows.html) and cause the computer (http://www.computerhilfen.com/explanation-c-Computer.html) not to start anymore!
