A "Decent" Machine Revisited

Swyfteblade · Mar 8, 2006, 02:24 AM

So first all I have to say thanks to everyone for their input, On my first build.

Next step is to get into overclocking this cpu.

But before that I ran into a little problem, I have 2 dvd drives, one Dvd-Rom and one Dvd-RW. Now up until about 2 days ago windows and my bios were recognizing them fine. All of a sudden i get an error in device manager stating "Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)". I have exhausted myself looking for an answer, as to why the drivers would suddenly not be able to load.

Any help/input would be greatly appreciated.

Have tried uninstalling/reinstalling the devices. Changing their slots on the motherboard, but nothing seems to work.

I have 4 sata drives, one being the plextor dvd-rw and the other is a sony dvd-rom drive installed in the primary ide port.

I got this problem fixed...That is the exact solution i found panging.. THanks for the reply

start Registry Editor and locate "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36 E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}",
see if these 2 registry values do exist -->"Upperfilters" and "Lowerfilters", backup your registry, remove both values completely from the registry key.
and reboot your computer. then after rebooted see if you can access both drives in My Computer?

if you still cannot access the drives, try removing all third-party CD/DVD-writing softwares that installed on the Windows system first,
and then go into Device Manager and uninstall both drives, then check and edit your registry same as the above one more time. then reboot your computer.

if the problems still persist -- rechecked the DVD drives and motherboard connections and its cables? tried another cable?
then, test both DVD drives, if they seemed to work fine on another system, reformat your Windows partition and reinstall the Windows.
