hello, yeah im having the same problem, my win xp wont show D drive in my computer, and even after i put a cd in, it spins but it wont read it. I'm sorry im replying on the same threat, when u just asked some1 else to make a new one, but i dnt know how! how do u post new threads (SORRY)
thnk you xx

PS i did go to desktop, clicked right click on my comuter, searched Device Manager and yes, there was a yello "!"
what is that mean?

oh yeah and when i right click the d drive in Device Manager, it says "Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)" what is that mean?

Near the top of each forum's main window, just above the list of threads, there is a button labelled "Post a New Thread". Clicking that button opens up a "Post New Thread" window where you can compose your message and give it a title. Once you've finished composing your post, just click on the button below the message window labelled "Submit New Thread". That's all.

In terms of your actual problem though:

One common cause, and the fix, are described in this article in Microsoft's KnowledgeBase:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q270008/

Although the article pertains to Win 2000, I've seen the problem occur with XP as well; the fix described for Win 2000 works for XP. You may need to reboot after performing the fix.

Please note that although the article only refers to the "UpperFilters" and "LowerFilters" entries in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet registry subkey, I've had to apply the fix to the similar entries (if found) in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet00x subkeys as well in order to make it work.

ok well im useless with computers and theres no1 to help me it told me to:
"1. Remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters values completely from the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
NOTE: If you are getting a code 39 message (thats what i got) it may be that additional third-party filter drivers were added to UpperFilters and LowerFilters values in addition to Adaptec filter drivers. In that case, you may try to remove the non-Adaptec filter drivers first, leaving the Easy Creator filters in place to see if the Code 39 goes away. If you still receive an error code 39, 32, or 31 message, remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters values completely in the preceding key. 2. Restart your computer"

what OR where are the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters?
ive no idea what to do! i need some kind of "steb by steb" instructions :cry:

OH! i got it! ...but I'm stuck
what do i dowith upperfilter and lowerfilter? do i right click them and delete them both completely?
what is the difference bewteen the Key or the Multi-String Values and the data values

PS thank you very much for making a new thread for me!! muchly appreciated xxx

Ok I Done It! My D Drive Is Back In My Computer! Thank You Very Much For Your Help :d *huggles*

Good job; glad you got it

oh would you guys know anything about not being able to burn CD's on windows media player after you fix ur D drive! >
grr! thats soo annoying. i wanted to make a Cd for some1 and the windows media player says theres "no CD or dvd burner has been dedected"

I'd start by completely uninstalling WMP through your Add/Remove Programs control panel and then downloading and install a fresh copy of the program.

oh ok! thank you, i will try that

I deleted cookied and files in Internet Options, but it still pops. up. thanks xxx
