Problems with DVD drives! 1

[dodge8604]

First off, I'm running a EVGA 680i SLI motherboard and my system has been running fine lately, no trouble at all with it. Just today I run into a problem with my two CD/DVD drives. Neither of them show in "My Computer". I look in my device manager and it has a yellow triangle with ! inside so I check the properties on both and it says this.

"Windows successfully loaded the device driver for this hardware but cannot find the hardware device. (Code 41)

Click Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooter for this device."

The power works for both of them, just they aren't reading. I have gotten in, unplugged, blown them out, plugged em back in, made sure slave and master was set correctly (IDE) and now I've kinda run out of solutions.

Anyone wanna give me a hand here? Thanks in advance!

First check that BIOS sees both drives, if not try a different cable, also try another IDE channel.

If BIOS does see both drives then copy and past the below lines in to a new text file. Rename the file cdgone.reg and save to your desktop or somewhere were you can finc it. Right click on cdgone.reg and select merge. Then reboot your computer.

the .reg file removes all registry entries for you cd roms (Uninstalls them) when you reboot your computer, windows will find your cd drives and reinstall the drivers.

I figured it guys, it was the Upper Filters and Lower Filters in that Registry Folder that I had to delete, then rebooted and voila!
