If your problem is non-detection (ie: drive is not listed in My Computer), please read post #24 in this thread: http://forums.driverguide.com/showthread.php?t=21669&page=4

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.

I have a ZD7000A (ZD8000 motherboard), installed a Matshita UJ851S DVD RAM drive. Nothing but problems. Removed drive from system, reinstalled, removed upper and lower filters, tried different codecs. Nothing worked. Would get to the end of a burn and program stopped with errors. Tried different brands of DVD's. Was ready to buy another drive until I found the forum, link below, with a driver that had the drive check removed. It worked, my drive now rips, burns, and recognizes any dvd I put in it...

HP Pavilion ZD7000A
Pentium 4 3.2 Ghz Hyperthreading
2gigs of ram.
