Re: CD/DVD Rom drive stopped working

Open Windows Explorer. Is the ROM drive listed?

If it's not there, go to Start > Run > regedit and remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters values from this registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Control \ Class \ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

Then reboot and look in Windows Explorer again.

Important: Make a backup (export) before making any changes to the registry.
