      It looks like both those fixes & the cdgone patch all do the same thing, remove the data value from upperfilters & lowerfilters.

       :-? - "Wha...?"

      I don't know what you're talking about... So: yeah!

      For some reason, I cant find my Windows XP CD. I'm not sure if that's relevant, but I said it.

      On Device Manager, I only see the yellow exclaimation marks over the drive icons. It doesn't show any text explaination of the error beside the drive.

      And I don't know how to back up a registry. Why? Because I may be slightly stupid, or lazy, or angry... Probably the latter.

      Though I am trying out that http://www.theeldergeek.com/restore_missing_cd_or_dvd_drive.htm right now. Wish me luck.

      YAY!!!!!!!!!!!

      Finally, I got my drives back and they're fully functional!

      But are there any reprocussions that I'll get from taking out a value?

      Yes. And it worked just great. But I don't exactly know what I deleted and whether what I deleted has much importance.

      Just you wait, my computer will become posessed the next time I turn it on.
