Hi, I have had daemon running on my two systems for quite a long time...ever since installing it on each, my DVD-ROM on both hasnt been working. The DVD-ROM is the top drive on both systems. A couple days ago I reformatted one pc which had this issue and after the reformat the DVD-ROM drive worked fine. Sadly, on the other computer I have, reformatting has to be the VERY last option...i really cannot do it. I have tried the windows page where you delete some of the optical drive drivers via the registry here :http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;320553 yet it did not help. The thing about this whichis odd is that It is showing BOTH the DVD-ROM drive (which is NOT working) and my CD-RW Drive (which is working) in my computer... it also is showing both drivers in the device managar AND bios. The thing that is happening is that i insert a disc into the DVD-ROM drive and it does not autoplay...when i try to access it through My Computer it says " Please insert a disc into D:" , even though a disc is already in. The DVD-ROM drive model is a Matshita DVD-ROM SR-8588 The system specs are below: 2.4 GHZ P4 512 MB RAM 80 GB Hard Drive DVD-ROM Drive ( NOT WORKING ) CD-RW Drive ( WORKING ) Please could someone help me get this issue resolved...I uninstalled daemon after unmounting everything and disabling all drives and i would like this DVD-ROM fixed ASAP!
sorry, i'm not here to answer your question. i, too, have the same problem. expect it's a SAMSUNG DVD-ROM SD-616E. tell me if you find out anything. ok. thanks.
