OK I sorted the Hard Drive Problem. When i installed Windows XP one of my DVD drives disappeared. It shows up in Bios, but not My Computer, Disk Management or Device Manager. Any help/suggestions are appreciated. Cheers
This is from Microsoft: Restore Missing CD/Dvd Drives follow these directions for clearing the Upper/Lower Filters in Vista: (might want to print this out) 1. Click on Start --> Run --> and type in 'regedit' followed by the enter key ( if Vista Start search or windows+R ) 2. Expand the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" key (looks like a folder) by double clicking it (or 3. clicking the "+" next to it.) 4. Expand the "SYSTEM" Key 5. Expand the "CurrentControlSet" Key 6. Expand the "Control" Key 7. Expand the "Class" Key 8. Look for a key containing the following string of letter and numbers: {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} 9. Highlight this key by left clicking once on it 10. On the right hand side you are looking for "UpperFilters" and "LowerFilters" under the "Name" column, once you find these please delete them by right clicking on them and choosing "delete" 11. Exit the registry by clicking on the "X" in the top right hand corner of the screen Reboot your computer.
