Gah, DVD Buner issue...

«BladE|==| · Jun 30, 2006, 08:29 AM

ffs, issue after issue...gah, just grabbed a lite-on SHM-165P6S04C...a dual layer dvd burner right? Well, she doesn't detect cd's...but in a way it does. What happens is in my computer it's detected as a "DVD-RAM Drive". And as SOON as I stick in a cd, it'll read it...think about it a bit...then *boom* (ok, not really, but you get the idea), it sees my dvd burner as a "CD-Drive" With NOTHING in it...Double You Tee Eff Mate?

Help ASAP would be appreciated.

Have you looked on the Liteon website for a firmware upgrade?

«BladE|==| · Jun 30, 2006, 08:37 AM

currently doing that...

What's weird is i just tried my Mobo's driver's disc...and came up with cannot initilize "asusacpi.exe" which is one of the files on the disc. Acpi is like, Advanced Configuration and power interface...lol, mkay weird.

ffs, I tried to update the firmware, and it screams at me, "UNABLE TO FLASH FIRMWARE. PLEASE CONTACT WITH YOUR VENDOR !" lol, nice "twinglish" there. Halp!?

You could possibly have a dodgy writer then m8

Is it very old? Can you return it and get a new one?

I saw it come out of the frieght package ffs. lol, and my old pioneer burner is still working GREAT after 3 years? Bah, damn lite-on...

Just a thought have you checked the jumpers,set them correctly,and put them on the IDE chain correctly?

«BladE|==| · Jul 2, 2006, 11:41 PM

lol. Yep, and no that's not the problem. It is set as master, and it's on the primary ide master in bios...so everything there is fine. At work now btw and i forgot to bring it down
