FIRMWARE UPGRADE KILLED MY DVD AND VIRTUAL CD DRIVES :///

[cos]

hi,

i made an firmware upgrade of my LG GCE 8481B drive to version 1.02.
the cd rw driver still be detected after the reboot of the machine. but my 2 other cd drives are desactivated ! i find the other drives in my hardware profiles but they are desactivated and windows can't detect them anymore ! :/
the 2 other drives are an LG DVDROM DRD 8160B and a virtual drive installed with clonecd.
i tried to launch an application (eac) using another driver ( ASAPI DRIVER) and this one detects the 3 drives without problem)
what can i do ?
i can't use my other drives now into windows ...
when i try to activate the other drives in windows it tells me i can't make it.
did someone else got the same problem ?
what can i do to fix that?
i supose you can imagine that i'm really...disapointed. :/
maybe a link to latest aspi drivers for xp or the old version of my firmware could help me so please if you have that help me.

already thx

How the heck do you "kill" a virtual drive?!

Not clear . I think u ve successfully upgraded your CD/RW Firmware ( and that u ve not killed anything ).
But i think there is a problem between the OS and your DVD-ROM drives and your virtual cd drive ( perhaps your CD/RW letter has changed after reboot or some stupid thing like this ) . Check this . If i were you i would uninstall the virtual cd and , if you have win xp , uninstall the DVD-ROM in peripherals lists and uninstall the IDE controller in which it is installed . At reboot all should be redetected and work fine ( if it is , don't forget put DVD-ROM drive in DMA mode ) .
I have XP and EAC . EAC only works with "NT/XP" mode ( else it doesn't detects my DVD-ROM drive ) , so i have configured it like this . But often when i fail in a task with my, DVD-ROM or when something happens to my DVD-ROM , EAC reconfigures itself in "95/98" aspi drivers mode .

i tried to uninstall the devices and windows redetected them without problem.
