It contains instructions on the delete the upper and lower filters fix

Also, there is a STICKY posted in this forum that contains a file from Microsoft and instructions that will do this registry edit automatically instead of having to do it manually.


And here's another method that will do this automatically for you if you're afraid to edit the registry manually.

(automatic fix, post #7, download file: CdGone.zip)

After performing this registry fix, just reboot the pc. Now your drive should be visible in My Computer and work properly.

Did this work for you? (removing the Hi and low filters in the registry?)
I also have a Matshita UJ870QJ DVD-RAM in an Acer Aspire 5720Z laptop.
I would like to add MS XP to enable multi-boot or dual-boot capability.
Am unable to find the driver for this DVD drive.
