Hey guys,
I recently replaced my CDRW with a DVDRW but when i installed the new dvdrw drive , it is detected by the BIOS and by windows device manager as LITE-ON DVDRW SHW-160P6S ATA Device, however in my computer it simply says " CD Drive".
On windows logon the computer asks for drivers for the new device.
I am running Windows Vista SP1 .
When i remove the dvdrw and re-insert the CDRW the CDRW works and is detected fine.
I thought perhaps there was a problem with the DVDRW so i replaced it with another of the exact model, and the problem persists.
Please help!
Thanks in advance
Ronan
