Can't Import CD to iTunes

I can play CD's in other programs, and iTunes even will eject the CD, but still will not have the CD show up in the sources.

If you have multiple drives on the same IDE or SCSI bus, these drives may interfere with each other.
Some computers need an update to the ATA or IDE bus driver, or Intel chipset. If iTunes has problems recognizing CDs or hanging or crashing while importing or burning CDs, check the support site for the manufacturer of your computer or motherboard.

Jeff,

Let's try the obvious thing first. Let's go to the support site for your computer. Get the download labeled "Intel Mobile Chipset" and the firmware update labeled "Sony DW-D56A slim 8x DVD+/-RW".

Let me know if that doesn't help.

Ok, Jeff, let's try a little experiment to make sure you're not getting a conflict with another CD driver installed on your system.

On the start menu, click on "run". in the space it provides enter "regedit" without the quotes. This will open the registry editor.

Find the heading HKEY LOCALMACHINE. Click on it.
Find the heading SYSTEM inside it. Click on it.
Find the heading CurrentControlSet. Click
Find the heading Control. Click
Find the heading Class. Click
Find the heading that begins {4D36E965- Click

Go up to the Registry menu and select "Export Registry File... command. Make sure the "Selected Branch" radio button is checked and save that off somewhere that you can find it.

Delete the key named LowerFilter.

Select the key named UpperFilter, right click, select "modify". Then edit the text in the dialog to just say "GEARAspiWDM" followed by hitting the return key, the return after the word is important.

Then reboot, and see what iTunes does.

To get the system back to its previous state. Run Regedit again and use the Registry menu -> Import Registry File... command and select the file that you saved off in the first section.
