Just realizing I probably should have posted this in Hardware.
Can a mod move this please? Thanks.

We dont close topics SXSchickenSXS unless there is an issue with the topic e.g. duplicate thread.
Can you tell us how you fixed the issue please. It might help someone else. Also you were going to post back and let us know if the regedit I wrote for you helped with your Start button issue. Perhaps you could reply to that topic too.

ORIGINAL POST:
I installed automatic updates earlier on Vista, there was like 20 of them. I didn't realize the problem until a few minutes ago... Okay, to start off, in the task bar, beside the LAN icon, there's an icon that says "Safely Remove Hardware", as if I have some sort of USB connection. When I open it, ta-da, it's the SCSI disk device.  When the other is highlighted:  I tried doing a system restore twice, but both failed, I got an error message on start-up saying that it failed, and I may try again. What do I do to get rid of that, and get my DVD drive active again?

What I did, was I rolled back my ATA driver...there was a duplicated of it, 3 of them, I did one, restarted, and my drive was back online. The three duplicates were gone too.
Start > Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Device Manager > IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers Just like on anything else with a driver, right click, properties, driver, roll back driver. Vista screwed me over on this one. Mike - 0 Vista - 13
