remove them and re-start Windows.

Hi there,

This happens quite often if one of the third-party packages has been
uninstalled. They add references in the Registry for modules which they use,
and these references fail to be removed, leaving Windows unable to find the
files apparently needed for CD devices at the next boot. There is a simple
Registry patch to correct this (download it aumha.org/downloads/cdgone.zip.

Before using the patch, be sure to back up the Registry. After using the
patch and rebooting, the drives should reappear. Any third party package
that is still required will then need to be re-installed.

This problem also may arise if there is underlying trouble with the
Input-Output system of the machine: for example, interactions with
controllers like Promise or Highpoint, or with special drivers. It may be
worth trying a change in the DMA settings for the device in Control Panel |
System | Hardware | Device Manager. Under IDE controllers, double click on
the Primary or Secondary IDE Channel concerned, then click the tab for the
Advanced Settings page.

If you might have installed UDF reader uninstall it because XP can handle
formating cd wrewritables by its self.


Best Regards,
Michel Denie

Hello Rusty,

Click start, than choose run and type regedit and enter. The registry editor
will open, in there on top click my computer and after that file on the
left top corner choose export and name the file whatever you like for
instance registry and save the file on a location you can remember for
instance your desktop. Click file again and exit the registry editor.

Download the cdgone.zip unpack it and double click the cdgone.reg and merge
it to the registry. Reboot your computer and see if the problem is solved.

Best regards,
Michel Denie.
