Still no luck. Ive rebooted a few times too and to answer you other question, I do not have another IDE.
Earlier this morning, I even completely re-installed Win 7 7068. This just baffles me.
Studulike, thanks for the Lower Filters and Upper Filters fix. My DVD burner suddenly stopped working; device manager showed me a driver error, and uninstalling the burner and rebooting just got me a driver install error.
This registry hack fixed it.
Aha!
See attached. One can blame a lot on Quicktime/ITunes.
Turn off the computer, unplug the drive from the eSata plug, turn on the computer, turn it off, plug back in the eSata plug. I have encountered a problem similar to this on windows vista a long time ago. Only a possible solution. Good Luck.
Check under sata configuration in the bios - if you have AHCI or raid enabled W7 will load the intel driver for it, but unless you install the intel matrix storage manager driver software you may not be able to see the dvd drive (as in your case) or it may not function properly.

I've found advice to disable the drivers integrity check: Run: bcdedit /set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS.
This worked for me.
Ok i have read this thread hoping it helps me. I have similar problem with my Pioneer DVR-115DBK Burner. I have it a Vantec 5.25 enclosure. I alos have another Vantec Samsung SH-S203N SATA dvd burner. And last I have 2 internal drives, one Pioneer PATA 115 and a SATA Samsung SH-203B. When i had Vista 64 bit, I had them working. Now it seems that I cannot get this Pioneer to work ro show up. I plugged my laptop to it, bingo it works, laptop has windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit. My system is 64 bit. I did the registry change, the integrity check. Dont know what else to do. Any advise please. Thanks
