DVD RW Wont work in XP SP2
Hi Guys, I wonder if anyone can help.
I had Windows 2000 Professional on my machine and my DVD RW worked fine. I bought myself a new hard drive and installed Windows XP SP2 on it, and the DVD wont work. When I put a cd into it, the operating system basically hangs, although the mouse continues to work. I have to press the reset key.
I came to the conclusion that the DVD had failed so to test it I put back my original drive with Windows 200 on and it works fine.
Help! any ideas?

welcome to tsf
on your 2000 machine, was the dvd rom plugged in as a master device and was it on a stand alone cable to the motherboard?

Was this an upgrade from 200 to XP, or did you install XP clean? Upgrades are notorious for borking your hardware's usability.
