I'm assuming they are physically installed correctly, and that you are using XP?

Go to Start, Run and type in regedit then OK.

Browse to the following keys,

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

Locate the Upper Filters and Lower filters value and delete them both.

Reboot.


Only work in the Registry after taking the usual precautions. (You may have to reinstall some burning software after this)
