missing two r/w cd hardware devices that were pre assigned earlier
Hello;
I went to look at what I had done so far and I noticed an error specifying missing hardware devices but the drivers for those locations appeared ok. (drive's b: & c. besides doing a total restore is there any way to reinsert those two missing hardware icons back so I can use them ? thank you -- mrtigre |

missing two r/w cd hardware devices that were pre assigned ear
I have this problem also after uninstalling game software. In Device
manager, it show DVD/CD-ROM and under that Multimedia Audio controller with an exclamation point by both. But when I update the driver, it installs drivers for SoundMax digital audio and places Multimedia Audio Controller in Sound devices. DVD/CD-ROM disappears from Device Manager and still not able to use CD/Rom/Dvd. Steps I have already taken: 1.) No upper/lower filters in the Registry that is so heavily floating as a solution. 2.) Cdgone did not work 3.) Microsoft's Fix it said it could not detect 4.) I checked my drivers in system 32 and two that are shown in driver details of IDE ATA ATAPI and Primary IDE channel (have no Second primary channel showing) are not in C:/Windows/System32/Drivers/ storprop.dll(primary) and pciidex.sys. I was told that senfilt.sys should not be in system 32. At one point it was not there but in the registry. I have not installed the driver for Multimedia Digital Audio driver. I did the add hardware wizard and it said 'Windows cannot load the drivers for this device(DVD/CD-ROM) Code 31. In my registry by CDROM in two places are two terms I don't understand. INITIALFAIL(by reg.key for deleting filters) and AutoRunDisable(by cdrom.sys) How can I get the drivers for DVD/CD-ROM to load and not in concert with Multimedia Audio Controller that installs SoundMax drivers for sound ONLY.

missing two r/w cd hardware devices that were pre assigned ear
Thanks Tom, but I already did that. They offer a audio driver and the sound
is fine, no problem there. As I said Multimedia Audio driver is under DVD/CdRom in Device manager. When I install the manufacturer's driver, it places Multimedia Audio Driver under Sound devices, and the DVD/CDRom heading disappears. I am trying to find out why my drivers for DVD/CDRom won't load(code31). For some reason it is not being detected by Windows. Read prior post on steps I have already taken. Anyone got any new suggestions?? I know I could use the XP or Resource CD, but with no access to my drive that is not an option.

missing two r/w cd hardware devices that were pre assigned ear
Thanks for your response glee. I hope you read my first post. It included
everything I had tried except bios. In bios (Drive Config.), Primary and Secondary are set at OFF. Using the arrow keys I tried to change them but nothing happens. In bios (Boot Sequence), CDRom and Floppy disk are shown as NOT INSTALLED. Cannot make those changes there. My pc is booting from the Hard disk. I read that possibly two REG entries are corrupt "Upper and Lower Filters", but they were not present in my registry I get Code 31, Windows cannot load the drivers needed for this device. If I install the Analog/Samsung Multimedia Audio Controller Drivers, the DVD/CDRom listing disappears in Device mgr. and Multimedia drivers show up under Sound devices. I need to find out how to get the drivers to load and/or why they are not loading. This started when I installed/uninstalled game software that was probably corrupt or contained 3rd party software that corrupted my CD drive.

I am trying to find out why my drivers for DVD/CDRom won't load(code31). For some reason it is not being detected by Windows. Read prior post on steps I have already taken. Anyone got any new suggestions?? I know I could use the XP or Resource CD, but with no access to my drive that is not an option.

Then, search on your PC manufacturer's website for the correct driver installation file[s] for your PC audio. Many PC manufacturers carry driver software on their websites, but please note - you do have to be carful to quote the exact model no., if they do... == Cheers, Tim Meddick, Peckham, London. :-) "Sysu" wrote in message ... I have this problem also after uninstalling game software. In Device manager, it show DVD/CD-ROM and under that Multimedia Audio controller with an exclamation point by both. But when I update the driver, it installs drivers for SoundMax digital audio and places Multimedia Audio Controller in Sound devices. DVD/CD-ROM disappears from Device Manager and still not able to use CD/Rom/Dvd. Steps I have already taken: 1.) No upper/lower filters in the Registry that is so heavily floating as a solution. 2.) Cdgone did not work 3.) Microsoft's Fix it said it could not detect 4.) I checked my drivers in system 32 and two that are shown in driver details of IDE ATA ATAPI and Primary IDE channel (have no Second primary channel showing) are not in C:/Windows/System32/Drivers/ storprop.dll(primary) and pciidex.sys. I was told that senfilt.sys should not be in system 32. At one point it was not there but in the registry. I have not installed the driver for Multimedia Digital Audio driver. I did the add hardware wizard and it said 'Windows cannot load the drivers for this device(DVD/CD-ROM) Code 31. In my registry by CDROM in two places are two terms I don't understand. INITIALFAIL(by reg.key for deleting filters) and AutoRunDisable(by cdrom.sys) How can I get the drivers for DVD/CD-ROM to load and not in concert with Multimedia Audio Controller that installs SoundMax drivers for sound ONLY.

I would try right clicking MyComputerselect PropertiesHardwareDevice ManagerDvd/Cdrom Drives. Click on the plus sign and you should see two entries for your cdrw drives. If there rt click on each one and choose Uninstall. Restart your Computer and let WinXP reinstall the drives. "ragsy" mrsragsy wrote in message ... Hello; I went to look at what I had done so far and I noticed an error specifying missing hardware devices but the drivers for those locations appeared ok. (drive's b: & c. besides doing a total restore is there any way to reinsert those two missing hardware icons back so I can use them ? thank you -- mrtigre . . |

missing two r/w cd hardware devices that were pre assigned ear
Something is definitely getting lost in translation here!...
If indeed, as you say, BOTH Primary AND Secondary IDE controller channels are OFF in the BIOS then certainly you would NOT* be booting from the hard drive! The reason there is this setting in the BIOS is for troubleshooting and certainly, you should be able to change their setting.... *(Except, possibly, if you are using SATA HDs) == Cheers, Tim Meddick, Peckham, London. :-) "Sysu" wrote in message ... Thanks for your response glee. I hope you read my first post. It included everything I had tried except bios. In bios (Drive Config.), Primary and Secondary are set at OFF. .... clipped |
