I am running Vista Home Premium 32 bit on a Dell Vostro 1000 notebook.

My computer will not recognize the CD/DVD drive. It worked about 3 weeks ago with no problem.

I can't play a music CD (a copyrighted, store bought CD) nor will the drive show up in My Computer.

I have tried:
rebooting
removing the drive, putting it back in
trying a different CD
searching in device manager (wasn't there)
searching for new hardware (didn't find any)
on someone else's suggestion, went to REGEDIT and found HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} and deleted the values: Lowerfilters and Upperfilters and rebooted the machine.

Please help!! Thanks!
