the other CdRomHL-DT-ST_DVDRAM_GSA-T20N___________WC05_________

looks like a cdrom dvd drive , delete that and reboot
I tried deleting the
CdRomHL-DT-ST_DVDRAM_GSA-T20N___________WC05_________ key, but I get an error box that says:

Cannot delete
CdRomHL-DT-ST_DVDRAM_GSA-T20N___________WC05_________ key: Error while deleting Key.

Perhaps it has something to do with the Subkeys it contains?

I tried the battery idea.

Still no luck...

That was a good idea, though. There's been times where I unplugged my older desktop computer for about 10 minutes and it'd work again when I plugged them back in.

Re: The Classic CD/DVD Drive Missing Issue

Key HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE included information about devices enbaded on IDE controlers (hard disks and DVD) and displayed in device manager.Because you even couldn't boot bootable disk removing any subkeys from this key wouldn't help you. Leave these keys and if your problem will back again you have to contact with manufacturer support
