had a friend with a similar problem with a dvd drive that played everything but dvds basically the drive was knackered and it sounds like yours is too. if you can try the drive in another pc to see if you get the same problem. if you do get a new drive if you dont try another drive in the gateway
its very strange the one i took out the juppers on the drive were different than the ones that are on this one .would that make any difference this one i put in is not that old ?????????do i have to update the driver ????????? any more help wold be nice would could i try
your problem has absoloutly nothing to do with JUMPER (not jupper) settings its most likely down to the drive being faulty. try it in a different system this is the best way to find out where the problem lies if the drive functions properly in another system then the issue isnt the drive itself but may have something to do with other hardware or software problems
you find that out when youve actually tested the drive.. it could be dodgy bios or driver problems or a broken ide controller / cable / port it could be too many things... i would just try another cd drive... if that works, Im sure you can figure out its broke
