[H]DVDRW disappeared from WinXP
Folks, My NEC-3540 has completely disappeared from WinXP SP2. Shows up in the bios, I can boot to cd/dvd's - I've even reinstalled WinXP to a different directory via cd on the same drive, but on booting to that install - still no DVD drive. I tried flashing the firmware with NEC's official .exe - could not find it in WinXP. Any idea's? Thanks. -- -jmg -sapere aude

Re: Re: [H]DVDRW disappeared from WinXP
I've run into this problem before. I use to encrypt my Temp directories. While applying various M$ patches, the files became corrupted and/or unreadable. If this is the case for you, you have to find all of the encrupted files in the $windir and replace them with non-encrypted versions.Hope that helps!Julian-Original Message-From: "Thane Sherrington" [EMAIL PROTECTED]Sent 4/19/2007 2:01:16 PMTo: "The Hardware List" hardware@hardwaregroup.comSubject: X-SPAM Re: [H]DVDRW disappeared from WinXPAt 02:26 PM 19/04/2007, j m g wrote:Folks,My NEC-3540 has completely disappeared from WinXP SP2.

Re: Re: [H]DVDRW disappeared from WinXP
Thanks folks, - I'll try the reg keys.
Has stopped showing up everywhere - not in device manager at all, since it's
the 1 drive I don't even have a section for CD/DVD's, not in Storage device
under Computer management, doesn't pop when I do add/remove hardware, etc.
And it's a box thats been running fine since the fall with WinXP SP2.
Haven't cracked the case recently, other than XP updates, firefox updates
not a whole lot of software changes either.
If I reinstall XP on the same primary drive and just specify a different
directory do any registry setting get pulled over to the new install?
How/where would I check for those ghost/phantom devices?
Thanks Again.

It's not these two keys is it?

RE: [H] files to vista ?
I have a U3 2gig that shows up on two different drive letters, not even consecutive, maybe she is looking at the wrong one.
