:hello:
I have a little problem: after i install windows xp, cd-rom drives (even virtual cd-roms, if any) dissapear from my computer. This is even more strange because:
-it is not windows xp kit related (i used the same kit before and i didn't have such problems)
-it is not application related (i installed different applications and with the same result)
-it is not unattended related (it happend even with normal xp kit)
-it is not system related (same system)
Maybe it is about bios, i don't know.
I found out that there are more situations like this. I found a registry modification that will fix this, even a small vbs program. But what intrigues me is why is this happening? if you heve any ideea, please post it on this forum.
Thanks

I had this problem once or twice. Happened to me when I upgraded a NT4 workstation. Search your registry for UpperFilters/LowerFilters in the entries for your drives and backup/delete them. That *should* help.
