Hi:

One day to the next my CD-ROM drive icon is missing. Running Win XP home
edition. Went to Regedit and deleted value data for LowerFilters; there is no
Key for UpperFilter. Rebooted and same issue. Any ideas?

Thanks.

Adam

Have you added any hardware recently? Your power supply may not be up to
it.

Hey There,

I have had a similar problem and this worked for me:

Under section 8 - Problems - there is a link to a patch that often resolves
this problem

Good luck,
