| vista sp1 32 bit | vista sp1 cd/dvd not working My cd/dvd drive will not work at all. In device manager it shows an !. It also tells me it does not need to be upgraded. I cannot find any upper or lower filters. When I search "regedit" nothing is found. I am "partially" literate in all this, but I can follow directions, so if you can offer me assistance, it would be greatly appreciated. This drive has worked in the past. And at some point, these filters were there. Thanks. |

| Vista Home Premium 32-bit & Vista Ultimate 64-bit both Service Pack 2 W7 Pro RTM 7600 32 & 64 | Re: vista sp1 cd/dvd not working Hi skothy5 and welcome to Vista Forums  Is the drive recognised by the BIOS? Check the POST screen when you boot up. Swarfega's advice about cable security is good. Also check that the MA/SL/CS jumper on the back of the drive hasn't worked loose. Personally, I never use the CS option but instead prefer to explicitly set the drives as MA/SL. |
