I wrote to the list two days ago (topic: I cannot write in CD-RW). According to what Brendon kindly suggested in his first message, I uninstalled Roxio 7 and installed it again, but now the DVD-ROM unit (D:) has disappeared from my Compaq laptop (that is to say, from Windows XP), and I cannot reinstall it using the "Add new hardware feature" of Windows.

Any idea?

(I cannot understand te second message Brendon sent to the list, and why the topic was closed. I am nearly sure that it is the first time I am witting to this list. Maybe some years ago and I have forgotten....)

I have seen now the section "Important Topics" of this forum. I have read the second message (Drive not recongized by Roxio) and I have followed the instructions; now I see and can use the DVD-Rom drive. This important problem has been solved. I will try now to write in the CD-RW using one of the two ways Brendon explained in his first message.

Think it might have gotten inadvertently closed… No worries though it wasn’t due to anything you did

Take a look at this post – Here

Scroll to the bottom where cdanteek has some links listed. You would want to try, 6. Click here, then reboot.

Should that not be enough then try: 7. Click here

I had the same problem just a few days ago. I found a post that directed me to my registry editor to delete two entries:lower filters and upper filters. Not sure exactly where in the registry, and I don't remember the url, but I found it very quickly by googling my question. Worked perfectly.
