Hey guys,
I have recently installed a Philips DVDR1628P1 DVD Burner onto my system
(WinVistaSP1)
The drive is detected fine by the BIOS and is present in Device Manager however it is showing no driver installed and is not present in the My Computer screen.
I have been unable to try updating the firmware as every patch i have downloaded must be applied to the drive within windows which is not being detected.
I was wondering if there were any hints / tips or perhaps a generic driver for the DVD/RW drive for windows vista?
Thanks in advance :)
