Ok, so i just bought a new Samsung DVD/CD drive. Its a SATA one. I installed it and its not showing up in "my computer"

Previous history: my old drive died, i took it out completely. When i had my old drive, i would sometimes boot Ubuntu from a live CD. But when i took the old one died, it wouldnt recognize that a CD was in there.

I got the new one yesterday, and for the first time, i saw the "boot from Cd" thing when my PC was starting. So, i thought it was working right. But, its not showing up in "my computer".

I have vista... specs in sig. what could be wrong>?
 
It looks like the HF I posted is a by-request-only unfortunately. So you could try getting in touch with MS, try the Deposit Files linked at the My Digital Life article I posted by clicking the download button under the 'free' column (I would vouch for MDL as not having any ill-intentioned trojan crap - on that note I wonder if it's even possible to inject malware into MSU/CABinet hotfix files), or you could google for other sources of Windows6.0-KB928253-x86.msu or if you have the 64-bit Vista Windows6.0-KB928253-x64.msu.

I'm not sure if that HF you posted would help, but it's worth a shot.
 
ok. I was talking to a friend, and i just asked him. and he said to check the reigistry, and then edit it. so he guided me through, and i (back-upped the registry first) but deleted the Upperfilters, and the lowerfilters, and its now showing up.
