Hy yall. Me have a problem with my LG DVD-RW. It dosn't wan't to open when its in windows. Before the bios check it works, but as soon as the os boots it dosn't want to open anymore. Have no idea what it could be. I oppened the RW and didn't see anything burned or such. And it has another problem. If I try to instal anything with it it blocks dosn't read all the data macking the whole instal useless....and I cannot burn DVD's anymore with it. Plz help me out!!!!!
Sounds like a communication problem, check DMA settings in the device manager for it. Also it may be a broken Firmware (you may need to reflash or get a new drive).
DAMN....it isn't even shown asa drive...I think its busted. And I cannot seem to locate it anywhere. Kinda angry here.... Well I will probably get a new drive since this one seems to be busted, still any other suggestions?
Moved it and it made the sys not recognize the hdd...wasn't even able to boot. There is one last thing left to do.....KILL SMASH.....bleah and get another one....I think I'm going for ASUS this time or even Gigabyte.
You're on about buying a new DVD-RW, right? Do Gigabyte make optical drives Anyway... the NEC 4571A and Pioneer 111D are probably the two most popular drives around just now
They normally base their drives on Lite-On ones. They also have some major issues with certain brands.
