I have had this problem for a while now. I have tried a bunch of fixes, like
the upper and lower filters registry fix. The uninstal and reinstal (both
phisical and software wise). Uninstall and reinstally (from device manager)
my IDE controllers, all to no avail. Every time I reboot my computer, the
cd/dvd drive goes missing. If I go to device manager and search for hardware
changes twice, it auto detects and installs. But on reboot, it will
dissapear again.
This started happening after I installed a free version of farstone's game
drive, that came with my NVIDIA video card. I uninstalled the game drive
after it started freezing my computer on startup. I found out it was the
culprit because I started doing selective startup. I uninstalled it, and
after that my current problems started. I contacted game drive, but since
its a free copy, they wont support it, and have given no answer, except to
say that they wont help me, because it was a free copy. So I am basically
stumped. I have concluded that it has to be some kind of registry problem,
but have no clue as to what it might be. I have searced for and looked for
all instances of farstone related entries in the registry and have eliminated
them. But still no sucess. I am practically stumped about how to proceed,
so any new information would be appreciated.
