DRIVER NEEDED: Hitachi hl-dt-st rw/dvd gcc-4241n (Windows XP) [IDE]
Simple solution:
Situation
There is a yellow exclamation mark for CD/DVD drives in
Device Manager.
The device status in the properties of the driver might indicate an
error code, for example 32, 37, or 39. Or the drive simply does not
appear in My Computer or Device Manager.
Solution
To solve the issue, you have to edit the
Windows Registry:
Click
Start, then
Run, type
REGEDT32 and click
OK.
Locate and then remove the following registry values:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlCl ***{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}LowerFilters
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlCl ***{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}UpperFilters
Close Registry Editor.
Reboot the system for the changes to take effect.
Note: Some
programs are unable to detect the
CD/DVD drive
after these steps. To solve this, simply re-install the program in
question, eg: usually your recording software. Also, in few instances
the order in which the programs are (re-)installed can make a
difference.
