To resolve this behavior, follow these steps:
1.Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).
This can be done by opening the start menu and left clicking RUN, another option is pressing the windows logo key on the keyboard
together with the R key, in the box you type regedit and click OK ( or enter on your keyboard )
2. Find the right key in the registry.
Locate the UpperFilters value under the following key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SYSTEM > CurrentControlSet > Control > Class > {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
When you see the UpperFilters key left click it and press delete, you will be asked for a confirmation, just click YES
Now do the exact same but with the Lowerfilters.
3. Reboot the computer
Now restart your computer and you should have a working CD/DVD drive once more !
CONCLUSION:
Some CD/DVD writing software change the filters in the registry to there own, this can sometimes cause problems.
By deleting these value's windows puts them back on default after a reboot.............Good Luck!!!!!!!

I am having the same problems as John I believe. I have a DEll Vostro 1500, and it has a duall dvd/rw driver that burns both cd and dvd's. I used to burn both fine but about a month ago it came up with an error under the dvd/rw drive and would not reconize or play either dvd's or cd's. I located that it was probably a registry error, but as I was computer illterate and did not want to delete the wrong thing I took it to a computer place to have them fix the problem and all they managed to get working was the cd part of my drive. Allthough, they told me they had both working fine. I have since been educating myself on computer registry problems and ran across your helpful forum. My dvd/rw drive under properties says only cd drive not both dvd/rw drive and cd drive like it used to. So, I am concluding somthing is still not in the registry correctly. I tryed what you said, but I have no UpperFilters key in my registry to delete. I can only find a LowerFilters. Do you have any ideas or suggestions as to what is wrong or I might be missing? I could really use some help..
Thanks,
