LG DVD Drive Please Help Doesnt recognise disks
I bought and installed LG GSA-4163B HL-DT-ST DVDRAM drive after hearing rave reviews about it. However mine seems to have issues.
Firstly if i put a disk in the drive it doesnt recognise that i have taken out the old one and put a new one in, doesnt matter what kind of disk it does it to them all. The only way i can get the new disk to read is my restarting my computer which is becoming a real pain. Also sometimes when i insert a blank dvd-r it says it is a cd-r, which it isnt. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I have two drives installed, the LG DVDRAM(master) and a CD-RW drive(slave). Both drives are having the same problem recognising disks. Please help, this is driving me insane. |

Are these jumpered correctly? Shown correctly in the bios and My Computer?
What software are you using to find them because a really new drive may not be recognized by an older program without an update to the software. |

Im not sure how to check the drives in the bios. Do u know any tutorials or something where i could learn? I am just using My Computer to open the disks. It works fine when i first boot up but then if put a different disk in it gets confused and wont recognise anything, i can hear it trying but it doesnt seem to find a disk. If i use another program to open the disk it says either drive busy or please insert disk into drive.
By jumpered do u mean connected? I installed them myself and as far as i can tell they seem to be set up fine. I have checked master/slave options, the dvdrom drive is the master and the cdrom is the slave. The drive didnt come with a driver disk, i read somewhere that LG doesnt do drivers they just use the ones microsoft has developed or something....??? As i am sure you can tell i am new to all this, but i would really like to learn so i would appreciate any help i can get. |
