DVD ROM not working

needhelpio · 02-07-2006, 11:12 PM

I just got a DVD-R "LG GSA-4167B 16X Super-Multi Internal DVD Writer". I replaced my old CD-ROM for the DVD-R because i didn't have nuff wires to hook up both of them. But I have trouble installing it. It ejects and closes. ANd in device manager theres a exclamation mark beside it. When it make it disappear Everytime i put a CD in it says the cd is corrputed. When i restart the computer the exclamation mark comes back and i have to install the DVD-R from device manager. and same problem still doesn't work, every cd or dvd is corrupted. It came with the software... but it says its corrputed.

are you using an 80 wire cable on the drive
click on it in the device manager and see what it says is wrong
check the jumpers are correct
