Cynthia Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 It's more or less as described in this Microsoft guide in section 'Resolution/Method one'. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/270008/en-us
scotty_buttons Posted March 21, 2009 Author Posted March 21, 2009 unfortunately, I did not see any entries for upper nor lower filters in the registry. so there was nothing to delete :S
LIGHTNING UK! Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 Just load up regedit and search for 'tdcmdpst'. It'll be in a filter lists *somewhere* !
scotty_buttons Posted March 21, 2009 Author Posted March 21, 2009 found it! but i get an error msg sayin that it's unable to delete it :S
scotty_buttons Posted March 21, 2009 Author Posted March 21, 2009 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE\CdRomHL-DT-ST_DVDRAM_GSA_T50F__________\4&2f0449cb&0&0.1.0
Cynthia Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 Might help if you start Windows in Safe mode and then delete the string in the Windows registry. If that doesn't help - I would uninstall the burner in Windows and then restart the computer to see if it goes away that way.
LIGHTNING UK! Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 Is that the only place it finds it? (ignoring that same key but in ControlSet001, 002 etc)
scotty_buttons Posted April 17, 2009 Author Posted April 17, 2009 sorry for the late reply guys...in the middle of exams. would check back with the issue in a month from now :S thanks for the help so far!
casketizer Posted April 19, 2009 Posted April 19, 2009 (edited) AFAIK the HL-DT-ST GSA-T*** drives are OEM drives for Laptops that don't support booktyping. I have a GSA-T30L and it doesn't support it either and I tried everything. Those drives have other oddities, like no support for lower than MAX read speeds. It seems that HP (, Dell and other Laptop brands) wanted a drive that supports only the stuff that the software that ships with those Laptops (power2go) supports, to reduce support calls. When I asked them for a firmware upgrade because most modern 16x media are only burned at 2.4x, I was asked if i was actually burning with that crappy power2go coz otherwise there would be no support, and of course there is no newer firmware....
