Typically this is where I would get the Code 19 error, but lo and behold tonight the drive installed correctly! Woo-hoo!!! You wouldn't believe how happy I am - this has been bugging me for months.

I also noticed on the weekend that iTunes gives me a warning on startup: "The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes." I reinstalled iTunes, removed some other CD burning software, but still I don't have a CD/DVD-ROM drive..

Last week for some strange reason I noticed the drive wasn't showing up in Explorer. In Device Manager there's the famous yellow exclamation mark next to the drive and if I uninstall/scan for hardware changes it says the registry is corrupt and gives me a Code 19 error. I searched on Google and found an Upper Filters/Lower Filters registry edit, but this doesn't work and quite honestly I'm stumped. Occasionally my Primary IDE also has a yellow exclamation mark in Device Manager, but on last reboot the warning symbol went away. My earliest restore point doesn't fix the problem unfortunately... Any ideas?? --Steve I’m having problems with my DVD/CD-ROM drive at the moment. Last week for some strange reason I noticed the drive wasn’t showing up in Explorer.
