It worked fine on my netbook w/ Windows XP home edition sp3. I went to windows support, they guide you until the part you have to delete the filters and that's it (It didn't work that way). I follow the following steps given by this forum (uninstall, scan) and I just wanna say thanks a lot.

Hello,
I have searched your forum and found several suggestions that should have resolved my issue however it has not.

about a year ago both my dvd rw drives just stopped working. I tried to replace my drives with new ones on 3 occassions bringing me to my most recent endevor which was to overhall my system and upgrade nearly everything except the OS and some hard-drives.

Here are the current issues I have:
when i initially boot-up it only shows my boot drive and one other hard drive. I can quickly resolve this by uninstalling the second IDE Channels (there are two). I then rescan for new hardware changes which shows my other two hard drives and both my Optiarc drives appear but with a yellow upside down triangle with an ! in the center for the optiarc drives. I have tried several things to include deleting the upper and lower filter to no avail. I continue to get a code 19 error when i do anything with these. In addition once I restart my computer after uninstalling the Optiarc drive and deleting the filters i repeat the issue with the secondary IDE Channels again.

Should be noted i am running an Asus M4A785-M motherboard, AMD Phenom X4 quad core chip. I am running 4 SATA hard drives and 2 SATA Optiarc AD-7260S. As mentioned above I am running Window's XP as well. I am also considering making this a Dual O/S system which would likely resolve the issues on another drive with Windows 7 but i'd also like them resolved with XP. I don't want tor wipe my OS because i have software on there I cannot replace and I don't have the installs for them anymore.

I have also uninstalled Roxio as I read that could have caused the problem.

I assume the first step is to resolve the Secondary IDE Channel issue permanantly first then move on to the DVD-RW issues

See if anyone can help me with this one...
First ino:
Computre - Sony Vaio RB40
OS - Windows home SP3, Clean install
Drive in Question - NEC DVD+RW ND-2100AD


Action Taken:
Tried Reg hack, installed all drivers I could download, swaped out mutipul Optical drives, swaped out mutipul cables, no joy...

What I know:
Bios detecs it, can boot from the drive (thats how I installed windows in the first place), windows "Device Manager" will only see it if I install the "sony DVD click" driver, but only the NEC and with an error.

I am at a loss as what to do...

I have tried EVERYTHING. Finally...finally, I can now see my DVD drive on My Computer!! I was nervous going into the registry, but I'll be dog if it didn't work! Thank you soooo much!!! Now...I will explore further into your site. My computer doesn't find anything when I go to start>search. I see the dog sitting in the lefthand corner, but everything else is blank. My computer will not update with Windows Updater. It says the automatic updates are off and to go to system in the control panel and click on automatic settings ON, but they are already on... that's just the beginning of the stuff that's happening...
