Is the DVD drive alone on the cable?
Check the jumper settings - they should be the same as the "old" CD drive (master/slave/CS).
The drive seems to be detected correctly by device manager now, and is displayed there by its correct name.
It is also recognised by Nero now by name but is only labelled "CD drive " under My Computer.
Also the DVD drive is slave on the IDE cable and jumper is also slave.
My board supports only one IDE cable with HD being master.
If windows websearches it cannot find any drivers and refers me to the manufacturers site.
I can find no help there sadly.
If i were theorising, i would imagine windows is probably trying to load the old CDRW drivers for this new DVDRW and that is causing problems :(
( I cannot see any upper or lower filters in the reg )
Thanks!
