I bought a DVDRW drive last week, however whenever I insert a disc whether a blank piece of media or a retail game or movie disc Windows Vista X64 stops responding. I'm forced to do a hard shutdown.

Initially I thought the DVDRW drive was defective however the bios detects the drive and when booting from a "bootable disc" such as windows XP CD the drive boots fine from it, however the same CD will cause the system to stop responding in windows. I've updated my motherboard's chipset drivers, SATA controllers, and updated the firmware.

The Drive is: Optiarc AD-7200S

bought from: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/139414

Edit: forgot to mention mullered07 that I've updated the firmware to 1.06 :confused:

Edit 2:

hmm odd one, you could try updating the firmware, cd drivers cdrom.sys iirc or as a last resort formatting and see what happens with a clean install, if it does it again from a clean install i would rma it

Again, hes already updated the firmware.

If that specific brand has issues with Vista, I would suggest to just return it and get another drive from LG, Samsung, or someone else.
