Hi, everyone...
I hope that someone will read this, 'cause as I see this topic is allmost 3yrs old.
I have similar, maybe same, problem as CragHack.
My config:
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-M56S-S3
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4000+
HDD: ATA WDC WD1600AABS-0 (Serial ATA Hard Drive)
DVD: Optiarc DVD RW AD-7173A (PATA)
To continue...
Anyway, I bought new DVD-RW Drive because old one (named up) couldn't write any more (although reading works). New one is Samsung SH-S223C. (SATA)
I have two sistems on PC (dual boot), Windows7 and Linux Mint 8.
New DVD Drive works fine under Linux (reads and writes DVDs/CDs normaly), but under Windows not so fine.
It shows new drive (DVD Drive (F:)) but when I try to read some DVD it just bloks and when I "stop" it (close window or take out DVD) it just disappear from the system, it's like it does not exist, like it isn't connected (there is no more "DVD Drive (F:)").
I tried to reinstall drivers, made some adjustments to BIOS and it didn't help.
So, help, please.
P.S. I hope I wasn't too confuse.
