My Optiarc DVD RW AD-7203S ATA device won't read all type of discs. if i double left click the icon [DVD RW drive (E:)] it will eject and display a message (Please Insert a disc into drive E:) even there is disc in it. Then i check the properties of this device [DVD RW Drive E:>Hardware(Optiarc DVD RW AD-7203S ATA Device>Device Status)] it said that "This device is working properly". I'm using Windows 7 (Ultimate) Can anyone help me? Please.....

If your CD/DVD Drive is missing under My Computer, try the following:

1. Click Start > then type regedit then press enter
2. Double click on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
3. Double click on SYSTEM
4. Double click on CurrentControlSet
5. Double click on Control
6. Double click on Class and look for {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} and click on it.
7. On the right side, look for the keys Upper Filter and/or Lower Filter
8. Right click on it, delete it and reboot

Microsoft created this fix when they found out that it's beginning to be a known issue. If this won't work for you, your CD/DVD drive's read lens must have worn out already and you need to replace your ODD.

Good luck.

don't think so...don't know of any others

My Optiarc DVD -RW AD-7640S ATA Device does not recognize media

To delete the offending keys, open the Registry and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlCl ***\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}. . Delete the keys named UpperFilters and LowerFilters and reboot.

You will have to uninstall the drive and reinstall again. I think the drivers for the drive is not properly installed. But if all this does not work, then I think you will have to do a system restore.

Best wishes
