Posted March 23, 201311 yr FPCH Admin I recently installed PowerISO and it has taken over my physical DVD drive so I cannot use it. The drive does not show up in Windows Explorer. The drive shows up in hardware settings, but with the note that the driver has been disabled and another driver is providing the functionality. There are issues all over the net on this WRT to PowerISO (wish I had seen these before I loaded it) but no real concrete solutions. I have tried uninstalling the device, reloading drivers and even bought a new DVD drive and installed it but it comes up with the same issue. None of the MS fixes work. I did a complete refresh of BIOS and CMOS to no avail. The drives do not show up in the BIOS settings but do show (with issues) in Hardware settings. I also removed PowerISO, which did nothing. I then re-installed it and changed the Virtual Drive setting to "none" thinking that this was taking over my physical drives. Nothing. So I have uninstalled it again.
