Deleted Registry Entries in an Attempt to Repair CD-Rom Drive
My situation: My CD/DVD-Rom drive is unresponsive (it opens and closes normally) and does not show up on Device Manager.
I read a guide that suggested that I have corrupted registry entries.
It told me to delete UpperFilters and LowerFilters.
I deleted the two entries (and possibly others in the same location).
Good news: I backed up my registry
Bad news: I backed up my ENTIRE registry (oops)
So far, everything appears to be the same... Except when I open iTunes I get an notice that says the registry settings needed to burn and import CDs are missing.
I've been told that I can import the entire .reg backup and "hope that all goes well". It sounds rather sketchy and I am seeking better help. It would be well appreciated if someone were to give me a tip.
Note: I've also been told that a wire could have come loose but I want to fix this registry problem before opening up my PC.
I hope it doesn't come off as leaching by coming here solely for making a help thread. If someone can guide me I'll try to help people in return. Thanks.
