Solve : DVD/CD-ROM drive malfunction?

Answer»

Windows Vista: (*ATAPI DVD W DH16W1P ATA Device)

I am RUNNING WindowsVista... and for some reason my cd/dvd drive want pick up any discs are let me burn any... the device status says the device is working properly... i check the driver details they are up to date... i looked for a way to rollback driver none is available...



That drive may have bit the dust...Vista shouldn't need drivers for optical drives.

To confirm the drive is dead install it into a known working machine and see...I HAVE NO OTHER SYSTEM TO TRY IT ON...Then it's probably time to go shopping...newegg has DVD burners brand new for about 40 bucks shipped.

oh well thanks for trying to help... so how do i install it just unplug the wires from this one and HOOK it back up just the same to the new one...Yep.
2 wires...power and IDE. They are both keyed so they only can go in one way.
As ALWAYS when working inside the case take anti-static precautions and make sure to remove all power sources.ok preciate the help and i peeped the newegg site thanks...
You're more than Welcome...stop back if you need any other info.
