[SOLVED] DVD RW Driver problem

My Philips DVD RW/CD ROM stoppped being recognised by PC - device manager showing corrupt driver - relaoded windows & failed to repair. Was unable to find a driver for this drive. I have just installed a new DVD RW - Atapi DH-20A4P and problem still persists. Any ideas?

have you tried uninstalling the old driver (in Device Manager)?

Re: DVD RW Driver problem

Thanks - I ended up reinstalling the pre-install software with windows; on the 4th attempt it actually worked.
