MSI P55M-GD45 motherboard, Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium. Restored full disk image with ATIH 2010. PATA CDROM drive is entirely missing in Windows. Event log shows boot-start driver failed to load: cdrom, Event ID 7026.

I updated the M/B BIOS just before the restore. Going back to previous BIOS no help.

Tried deleting upper and lower limits in registry, no help.

Installing new Windows from CDROM works fine, and Windows finds the drive.

Plugging in different SATA CDROM drive is found in restored image.

Any further ideas?

I would verify that the BIOS settings relating to the IDE CD drive are the same as before. Chaning the BIOS version can change settings.

In Windows, you could try uninstalling the IDE Controller (use Device Manager) and then rebooting. It should reinstall it and may get it sorted out.

Thanks for the suggestion. I had previously uninstalled various IDE controllers and ATA channels to no effect. I tried uninstalling the Serial ATA controller in Device Manager, rebooted, and CDROM returned! I wouldn't have thought the Serial ATA controller would impact the PATA drive, but it did. Life is good again.
