I'm not sure but the way my Hardware is hooked is my Disc drive is an IDE with a converter or jumper or whatever it's called it turns the IDE hookup into part SATA because My Mainboard is built for IDE and SATA as far as I know. Mainly IDE, It's just a weird setup that my brother and I did to make my PC Run with the new Hardware such as my new MBoard, and procesor and RAM.

This works great to gain optical drive access back - but now itunes fails. (on x64 windows 7)... it says that the registry keys that itunes uses are gone... any thoughts?
VG
^^ Run iTunes setup again and it should repair the problem.
