CD/DVD is not deteced in Vista Dev Mgr (UNSOLVED, but not for not trying!!)

<< < (6/10) > >>

Shane:
I wonder if I should have you remove all of them and reboot. The cd rom isnt even showing up as a connected device to those when it should. And you did have it set to show hidden devices correct?


Also what is listed under "Other Devices"? And something that I havent actully seen on Windows device manager before, "DriverInterface" what is listed there?

I went thru a couple of sequences to remove the "IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers" w/o connected devices.  I finally uninstalled all the Channels (both ATA and IDE).  I physically removed (slid out of the notebook) the CD/DVD drive.  Upon rebooting an automatic drive installation began that resulted in one "ATA Channel 0" being added w/ a device connected.  I confirmed that this channel is for the internal HDD. 

I reinserted the CD/DVD drive which resulted a second "ATA Channel 1" being added indicating NO device connected.  I was able to repeat this result without a reboot (pull the DC/DVD drive, uninstall "ATA Channel 1", reinsert DC/DVD drive and then "ATA Channel 1" gets autoinstalled).

Should we be looking at the last controller "Standard Dual Channel PCIIDE Controller"?  It is the same "Device class guid", i.e. "{4d36e96a-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}".

What was under the "DriverInterface" section?

Buckeye_Ham:
Ops!   There are two Logitech Driver Interfaces.  One is "Location 0 (Logitech Hid Filter)" and the other is "Location 0 (Logitech Mouse Filter)".

Shane:
OK try this. Download and install Clone Drive

This will install a virtual dvd drive, I use this when I mount iso files. But it will also add a entry in the device manager under cd/dvd drives.

Once you have it installed make sure you have it create a virtual dvd drive and then reboot and lets see if that shows up or even works.  :wink:
