| Vista premium | No detection of DVD drive Hi! I upgraded my OS to Vista premium from XP. For some months I used my DVD drive, then suddenly it stopped. My driver is TSSTcorp CD/DVD TS-L632D ATA device and I'm using HP pavilion dv6000. I tried to uninstall that driver but still no detection of the DVD drive. Please help me... |

| Vista Business/Home Premium/Ultimate x64/Server 2008 X64 | Re: No detection of DVD drive Hello joypogs! Welcome and hope you get good help here. First open the control panel(in classic veiw) and then open administrator tools. Open Computer Management and select the disk management option. Once it populates see if your DVD drive is listed and check what letter is assigned. Make sure its not the same as another device on the system. If it is shown and as a dup letter, right click it and change the letter. If it does not appeare it is probably dead and in need of replacement. But you can try things such as removeing it and re inseting it that may force windows to re detect and hopefully start it working again. |

| Vista Ultimate x64 | Re: No detection of DVD drive if you have reset the upper and lower filters in the registry as described by Microsoft (support.microsoft.com/kb/320553/) and you still don't get your CD or DVD not mounted try ArcSoft_Vista_Update.exe and hopefully your problem is solved. |

| Vista Home Premium 64bit SP2 | Re: No detection of DVD drive Taken from above mentioned article..... Step 1: Start Registry Editor (start/run type regedit hit return) Start Registry Editor. Step 2: Delete the UpperFilters registry entry
Step 3: Delete the LowerFilters registry entry
Restart your computer. After you have done this, try to access the CD or DVD drive. If you can access the CD or DVD drive, and if you do not receive an error message, the problem is resolved. You can reinstall your CD or DVD writing or recording software. If you cannot access the CD or DVD drive, or if you receive an error message, unfortunately this content is unable to help you any more. Go to the "Next Steps" section for information about how you can find more solutions to the problem. |
