Hi! So i bought a buffalo DVSM-PN58U2V DVD MULTI DRIVE. The package says that it installs automatically when connected into the computer, but when i plug it in, instead my computer recognises it as Optiarc DVD RW AD-7560S USB DEVICE, tries to install its drivers, and fails.
I have a 32bit vista HOME premium.Leave it connected and reboot. What happens?nothing, after the reboot its just like before, windows still recognises it as Optiarc DVD RW AD-7560S USB DEVICE.The device itself works fine with other computers, i tried it with my other computer wich runs a windows xp, and it worked fine.Does it work PROPERLY? What shows up in device manager?In device manager it just thinks that the device is Optiarc DVD RW AD-7560S USB DEVICE and says that it cant find the proper drivers.Does it work?Since Buffalo don't actually make drive hardware, my guess is that the drive in that device is actually a Sony Optiarc and that Windows is RECOGNISING the hardware accordingly. If it works I wouln't worry.

Yes, it is usb powered, it has a dc in, but i couldnt find a 5v adapter in my house.

I hope this is the problem, i will buy a 5v adapter and try again tomorrow
