System not recognizing cd/dvd drive

[ican2k]

Hi;

I formated and reinstalled Windows XP home edition on my Dell Demension V400. Now the system does not recognize the cd/dvd drive. Worked before. What am I missing?

Hi

Install the driver of your CD/DVD.

Good Luck

The default windows driver will work just fine. Try running this diagnostic scan.

If that doesn't help, try deleting the upper and lower filters in the registry.

Hi;

i went to the site you recommended, followed to instructions in regedit . there was not a high or low filter listed. Any other ideas?

Did you run the diagnostic scan from the first link?
