Anyone ever had a DVD-ROM refuse to recognize or play an DVD? My DVD-ROM is old and probably the lens is dirty but it will recognize any other data or CD audio disk but not an DVD movie disc - and this is on a fresh install of XP with every update except SP2 and I am using cyberlink PowerDVD 6... and the movie is brand new.
Also something is wrong with my CDRW drive as well - it seems it dosen't like to write to CDs correctly. Out of 20 I got 6 to write good. HMM. I'm using Nero 5.5 and writeing at 4x.
I'm using a rounded IDE cable. My motherboard is a Shuttle mobo using the Nvidia Nforce2 chipset. Ecvery driver is up to date. I am using the Nvidia IDE driver instead of the default MS IDE driver. Could that cause problems?
The cable is setup that the DVD-ROM is master, CDRW drive is slave.
