    cd drives not detected

    Hi
    My old man has got a iqon pc with a gigabyte 7vm333m-rz motherboard, all of a sudden his dvd & re0writer disc drives are not being detected by windows xp home service pack 2.

    The error message says that the data in the registry is either corrept or lost.

    I've checked the drive cables and they are fine, done a registry clean and started pc using the default bios settings still carn't get it to work.

    If anyone has any ideas please share then

    I take it the BOIS still detects them?
    Are they showing in the drive manager in control panel?

    Re: cd drives not detected

    Sounds like master and slave conflict but you haven't changed any drives

    Re: cd drives not detected

    Not necessarily, so worry ye not, yet
    If the error message is stating a registry error, there's a good chance that's exactly what it is.

    I seem to recollect having a similar prob in Win98 once cured by a registry hack. It may be a case of uninstalling the drives, switching off, swapping them slave/master & re-booting, forcing windows to re-detect them.

    Re: cd drives not detected

    Hi folks

    Tried the registry hack as metioned above, Windows detected that there was new hardware. When trying to install get this message

    Windows cannot start this hardware devive because it's configuration (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged (code 19).

    Re: cd drives not detected

    Did you check the master slave config ?
    Perhaps you could disconnect one of the drives via the IDE cable, one at a time in turn to see if one or the other has developed a fault ?

    Re: cd drives not detected

    I've now tried the following to no effect

    disconnected one drive from the IDE cable then the other
    Done the IQON system recovery
    Uninstalled the drives and booted pc from safemode undr last known good configuration.

    Was thinking of a bios update, not sure how you go about it
