Does anybody know of any utility that will repair the registry entrees in XP for Optical Drives? Or heard of anything just refresh it to when windows was first installed?
I have a Samsung WriteMaster that Ive owned for a few years. Problem is, I used to use Daemon Tools on my machine and when I uninstalled it, it corrupted something in the registry and I cant get the burner to be recognized fully by windows. Windows can "Eject" it, but thats about it. I get an "E: is not accessible." "Incorrect function." error, when I try to open it where it should normally say "Please insert a disk into drive F:". The writemaster and my other optical drive were like "overlapped" on each other, when I changed the volume letter, only then did it even see the other one.
Ive tried all kinds of things.
- Ive tried doing a few microsoft fixes, deleting upper and lowers in the registry. That worked the first time it was corrupted, it didnt work this time.
- Ive removed device from device manager, moved around drive letters, scanned for changes, uninstalled, enabled disabled, rebooted.
- I even went into the registry again and deleted some corrupt keys and stuff.
- In the past (the first time this happened), I managed to flash the firmware, mess with a couple reg keys and it worked. However now I cant, because its so screwed up that it doesnt even recognize that the drive is the right one, so the software for flashing wont even let me flash.
Its getting a weird name too that its not supposed to get when windows installs the drivers. There is no software drivers I know of for this thing. Only firmware, and unless daemon tools corrupted it, that should be fine.
