Stoped working!
Have looked for Drivers,With no luck.Drive is TS-L632D.
It will play Cd's But sound is choppy.Will not play dvd's and will not record to cd.
Device manager says device working with no error codes.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to TSF....

Try removing the drive in device manager and exiting out the reboot the computer and let windows re-install the drive.

What burner software are you using to try and burn the DVD's?

I removed the device and rebooted.Windows did reinstall but still same problem.
I am not burning DVD's just backup copys of my CD's.
I can not play a DvD and CD sound is choppy.Any music on computer at this time plays fine.
I have Wmp11,Zune,Yahoo music Jukebox and sonic

it sounds like the drives have dropped back from dma mode to pio mode

I am a novice on computer repair.I looked up these two modes and un
derstand them but I don't know how to check or change at this time.
I would realy like to learn more so this is why I am trying to work around rather than take to shop.

Thank you

Manually Setting DMA
go to the reg. key :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E96A-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\0001 or 0002 (depending on beeing primary[0001] or secondary[0002] ide channel)

there you modify the DWORD value of :
if the drive is on master: "MasterDeviceTimingModeAllowed" or
if the drive is on slave: "SlaveDeviceTimingModeAllowed"
to ffffffff

then go back to your device manager set your drive in IDE channel properties first back to pio and then, after confirming, again to dma ...that should do the trick[/b]

then check the drive
if not fixed try the hotfix
