I did research on this case, and this is the thing I found related to your issue. If you still unable to play the HD-DVD after replace the drive, you can do this. (Make sure you return the original drive to HP first before continue to troubleshoot, or else you might be charged  )
Install this updates: HP Patch 1
Install this updates: HP Patch 2
Install this : Update your laptop chipset/BIOS
Warning: Check your current BIOS version before update this. Or post back if you not sure about this step
Finally, if it still not working, you might read this article: Vista issue
Hope this helps you |
I did apply the updates from HP's web site. I didn't apply HP Patch 2 because I'm running Vista Ultimate 64-bit. That patch is for Vista 32-bit.
I still haven't received the drive. It's backordered and I should receive it on 2/8/08.
I don't see how changing the drive is going to work. It works for everything else. I can even see the files on an HD DVD. It just won't play the movies.
I downloaded a program from Cyberlink - CyberLink BD / HD Advisor (Beta). It basically said I should be able to play HD DVDs. The only thing it showed was my graphics card. But, it wasn't red (not supported). It was yellow (should upgrade).
