markv 0 Posted May 14, 2007 I can play & record DVDs just fine, but this drive will not recognize CDROMs, even the Nero CDROM that came with it. Below is the Nero Info for the drive also stating 'no disc inserted' while a CDROM is there. At the bottom is the disc info when a DVD is inserted which reads properly. Is there some switch/jumper related to this?

Myke 0 Posted May 14, 2007 Have you tried up[censored] the driver and firmware for the drive? You shouldn't have to worry about any jumper settings for something like this, unless you have made changes previous. Even then, that should not affect whether or not your drive has the ability to read a CDROM versus a DVD. Share this post Link to post
markv 0 Posted May 24, 2007 Yes, I updated it to v 1.29 from 1.27. From other sites I found it suggested booting from the cdrom and if it isn't recognized in that situation then it is a problem with the drive. It also said the cdrom & dvd portions are somewhat independent, having separate lazers and such. Looks like I need another drive unless there are any other suggestions?
