Fix to CD-DVD not recognized (explained)
I just fixed my W7 laptop so that it now recognizes my built in CD-DVD drive properly by manually changing the registry by adding:
1. Controller0 to atapi here: HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\atapi\Controller0
2. EnumDevice1 = 1 to Controller0
The procedure described: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/314060 and in many threads online.
Presumably the change tells the OS what ATAPI channel the CD-DVD drive uses or am I wrong? Maybe someone can explain in simple terms exactly what this fix does. Thanks.
As a besides the same fix can be done (I haven't tried this) from the CMD window by executing the below:
reg.exe add "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\atapi\Controller0" /f /v EnumDevice1 /t REG_DWORD /d 0x00000001
Thanks.
