Possibly a completely different problem, but had something similar with my laptop at the weekend. My resolution was to delete the driver then restart. XP then reinstalled the driver...then Bob's yer Uncle, Fanny's yer aunt...it worked a treat.

Mrs Goof!
I believe your nylon knickers may have caused static electricity to blow both drives! Remove them immediatly and get your butler to buy new ones (Cotton)
Next time please use anti static proceduresComment

Originally posted by wc2I've dealt with this problem before.
From the registry Local Machine - System - CurrentControlSet - Control - Class - 4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE103184/5 - Delete Upperflilters & Lowerfilters
Reboot
You might want to backup this part of the reg before removing the filters.
WC2 this worked, you're a star! I only had a lower filter, removed it and both drives are now detected. What a weird problem, i wonder why that happened?
Thanks for your help, much appreciated.Comment
