Harry Reid CD detect issue

[Harry Reid]

I went back to the oldest version I had, I believe it was 3.4, opened it and had it recognize my cd drive that I use to load a disk at a show (mine is D drive) and saved it.
I then closed that version and re-opened 4.8 and hit cancel when it ask for a default drive and mine started working when I want to import/load someones disk at a show.
Prior to opening the older version and saving the (D) default drive I could not get mine to work in 4.8.
I believe the "key" is to saving the drive in the older version.
Hope this helps.
Harry

4.08 will not ask me for a default version again. I can go into the tools and retest but a cancel there does not accomplish a thing. I'm stuck in limbo

Thanks for you help

I did go back to 3.4 and made sure the drive worked fine. But when I went back to 4.08 it took me straight to the main Hoster screen, not to the drive screen like it should.

I did finally get it to work. Thanks for your help I hope there are no future problems as a result of this. Is there something that will have to be done once the fix is in?

Thanks Stu

Stu,
We'll have to wait and see how MTU chooses to handle this bug. Now that your CD/DVD device is working you should be good to go.

Glad your back on track, enjoy the software.

Folks, the main problem here for those experiencing this is for some reason the registry entries that define the drive are not getting updated. These same registry keys are used by both 3.4 and 4.08.
This is why I said to go into 3.4 and try the Detect Again button in the drive tool. If it detects it as good there and you "Save" the information, close 3.4 and then open 4.08 theoretically this should set the registry keys to show the drive as good. If this doesn't happen then for some reason Hoster isn't being allowed to change the registry.
If it works then you will not see the Set Drive window pop up at the start up of 4.08 and if it doesn't then you will still get the pop-up. However as some have discovered including MadJim if you hit Cancel when it shows a "BAD" drive, then the drive will work anyway.
MTU is looking at this and if they find a quick fix for it they will release a 4.08a and you will have to "upgrade" again.
