DVD-RW Drive now being recognisesd as CD Drive Only
I have happily been using my DVD RW drive with no issues, yet inexplicably a
few days ago, the drive is now being recognised only as a CD DRIVE in Explorer and will no longer read any DVDs or CD's for that matter. My DVD burning software DOES recognise the drive and successfully burns files to a disc so the drive is working. I have tried uninstalling the drivers and re-booting and the UpperFilters registry edit, but all to no avail. Any help from anyone would be appreciated. My Drive is a Mitsumi DW 7802TE regards Trev

See if it's still listed in Device Manager. If it is, delete it. Shut down, hook everything back, boot into Windows. Is it working now? SC Tom

DVD-RW Drive now being recognisesd as CD Drive Only
Hi Tom,
Thanks for the suggestion. I have previously gone as far as unpugging the ribbon cable, but didn't re-echeck the device manager. Will try that tomorrow. "SC Tom" wrote: "Trev" wrote in message ...

Hi Peter,
Thanks for the suggestion, however, the link is to a solution for an issue that really isn't the issue I have.

DVD-RW Drive now being recognisesd as CD Drive Only
This has now been resolved....
The drive continued not to be recognised by explorer, so I attached another DVD drive, which was correctly recognised. Re-connected my original drive and hey presto, all now good. Still don't know why Explore stopped recognising in the first place....

My Drive is a Mitsumi DW 7802TE regards Trev It seemed that your "original" DVD RW drive's upper/lower "Windows" filters was "clobbered." You could have searched for the upper/lower filter reg patch also. When you plugged in the newer drive, this some triggered the Plug and Play (PnP) system to rebuild the upper/lower filters. Then, changing the drive back, a second PnP trigger occured
