I am having a problem with my cd drive. It is missing and comes up as a code
39 error. I have used the resolution for the code 39 ie delete the filters,
but I still have the problem. I did find that I only had Upper filters and
not Lower filters - is this the problem. Any help would be great.
 
Im having that problem too, suddenly my cd drive was gone, and it says it
has code 39??....i really dont know wat to do about it, troubleshoot says to
uninstall and then reinstall the drive, but that doesnt work?...can anybody
help?

CD-ROM access is missing and messages cite error Code 31, Code 32, Code 19,
Code 39, or Code 41 after you remove Easy CD Creator in Windows XP

Though it mentions "after you remove Easy CD Creator in Windows XP" other
causes exist.

When I deleted the upperfilter I deleted the whole lot, not the value data.
How do I get it back

That's why it is critical to either backup or export and save registry
entries before you change anything there.

This is only a shot in the dark but see if you can uninstall your optical
drive via device manager and reboot, hopefully on the reboot your drive will
be reinstalled. If this happens again (likely) use this automated registry
script that will remove the upper/lower filters without you using regedit.

You should be able to add the key back, just follow that microsoft KB
article in reverse.
