No D: Drive in my computer

When i go to the "my computer" icon, inside it only showed me the had drive and the floppy, but no cd/dvd drives and i have a cd and dvd drive!!!

 

hi there, ok give more specs like how many hard drives you have,optical drives,your mobo and windows you have and will start from there

 

simply because you've given us no new imformation to go on yet, i'm going to say make sure your IDE cables are seated properly on your mobo and drives.

 

i have 2 hard drives
2 optical drives (is optical dvd/cd's, if yes, i have 2)
I have a A7V8X-LA (Kamet 2)mobo
I have windows XP
Yes, in the device manager there are 2 ! by the cd/dvd drive

 

ok reinstall everything again:

unplugg all your drives.

then in ide 1 slot in your mobo plug the hard drives the one with win set the jumpers to primary master,the other hdd secondary master.
then on your ide 2 connector plug the optical drivers set the dvd burner jumpers to master and the cd-rw slave.

*remember to first blow the dust from the mobo connector and drivers*

that should solve any problem related with config,or connect issues!

 

have you got the jumpers in the right place for master and slave, and do the ide cables connect the right way around - there is one end specially has to go into the motherboard in some pc's (like mine) and windows does not see my drives if master and slave do not connect on the specified connectors on the cable.

try switching the ide cable around, and connect only 1 piece of hardware at a time to begin with.

 

well, i tried to uninstall it and then restarting the computer but it still doesnt work but when i went to right click and went to properties on the drives. it said "Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)

Click Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooter for this device.

****Wat should i do???

 

hey ddp, when i get to the part where i have to delete
"4. Locate the LowerFilters value under the same key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
5. On the Edit menu, click Delete, and then click OK."

It says there was an error deleting it!!

****Do i delte the entire HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}? But when i try 2...it still says error even when im in safe mode!
