Hi,
Have you tried removing the upper and lowerfilter entries in the registry as

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060
This problem may be caused by a modification to the entries by third party
software, causing an inability to read the disks correctly. The article,
while written for XP, applies to Vista as well.
