Title: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-T20N ATA Device gone!!
Post by: mareedee on 09.11.09, 16:45:13
>:(  I have a Compaq Presario 700 series notebook.  A few days ago I tried to play a DVD, (http://www.computerhilfen.com/explanation-d-DVD.html) which I have had no problems in the past doing, and it wouldn't work.  Tried several more and they didn't work either.  I even had problems getting the drive to open up.  Went into my device manager and there is no dvd (http://www.computerhilfen.com/explanation-d-DVD.html) drive listed....it has disappeared!!  I haven't done anything new to my computer (http://www.computerhilfen.com/explanation-c-Computer.html) recently to explain it, either.  Anyway, I found a solution here to try going into regedit and modifying the upper and lower filters, but I don't have numerical values listed to modify, this is what my registry (http://www.computerhilfen.com/explanation-r-Registry.html) says: 
Lower filters    REG_MULTI_SZ    PxHelp20

Upper filters    REG_MULTI_SZ    GEARAspiWDM

Help!!  What do I do now??
Thank you!!

You have to completely delete both key of UpperFilters or LowerFilters.

I'm sorry, but do not know what you mean by "delete key".  Just delete everything in both of the fields?


Lower filters    REG_MULTI_SZ    PxHelp20
Upper filters    REG_MULTI_SZ    GEARAspiWDM

Make it look like this:

Lower filters
Upper filters

or do I just delete the PxHelp20 and GEARAspiWDM?

When I do this, will I lose the functionality of the burner or any other functions?

Thanks, I have just never had this happen before, and it is so frustrating!!
