DVD‐Ram problems of recognition

DVD‐RAM model supported in XP but not being recognized or being recognized as CD‐ROM?

Before you start remember this is dangerous stuff and make a System Restore point before starting

Also double check everything that you do before doing it.

Also make a back‐up of the Registry as follows:‐

Click the Start Menu.> Go to Run

Type in the box type Regedit Press.Enter

Click the ʺRegistryʺ (or ʺFileʺ) menu > Click ʺExport Registry File...ʺ

Now be careful to choose an easy to remember location in which to save the file ,

and an easy to remember name.

At the bottom of that box, under Export Range, there are 2 buttons,

Click the one that says ʺAllʺ, and then click Save

You will be sorry if you do not take the time to do the above if something goes dreadfully wrong

Go to Start > Run in the box type > Regedit press OK

Close the files by clicking on the negatives “‐“ to make them positives “ + “

Then you should scroll to following entry in Registry

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>SYSTEM > CurrentControlSet > Control > Class> {4D36E965‐E325‐11CE‐BFC1‐08002BE10318}. Highlight the {4D36E965‐E325‐11CE‐BFC1‐08002BE10318} folder in the left pane,

Then delete the following two keys in the right pane.

ʺUpperFiltersʺ

ʺLowerFilterʺ

DELETE these two entries and restart your computer.

If your DVD‐RAM is supported by WINDOWS XP, this may work. No promises though
