Hello Damian, I have a solution for your problem. Its a problem with Windows registry. Follow these simple steps to fix this in under 5 minutes. If you have a problem with the computer not showing up the DVD/CD drive icon in the My computer window either in VISTA/XP, there is a little precheck list that you may want to go through before thinking about deleting upper/lower filter in registry. Here's how you do it.

First check in device manager in vista/xp to check if the DVD drive is getting detected. Usually if its a registry problem, the DVD drive will be detected in the device manager but it will also have a yellow exclamation mark on the DVD drive device entry which will be clearly visible. If this is the case, then simply follow the below link to fix it automatically by running an installer rather than manually messing around with the registry settings as this can harm you computer. Here's the link - 3. Once you login here you will be presented with option to 'save' or 'run' the file. Please choose 'save' and save the file in a place where you can access it.
