I have a HL-DT-ST DVD RAM GMA-4020B DVD burner, my hard drive had crashed last week. I had to get a new one. I installed the drivers for my dvd rom that i got from the internet. When i put in a dvd it will not read it. Do you know what else might be wrong. I also have a 52 speed cd rom connected to it, would having 2 drives together have something to do with it?
you need a dvd program like power dvd to watch a dvd windows xp installs a generic drivers that will work make sure that the dvd drive is on secondary ide controller the hard drive goes on the primary ide controller
Can you define not read it. Like can you open up the dvd and see the AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS folders? Or do you mean you can't watch the movie? If you can't see the folders something is setup wrong with the device and/or the drivers. If you can see the folders but can't watch the movie, as mentioned above you need to get a program to play the dvd such as powerdvd.
I put a disk into the drive and either it will just keep blinking liek a disk is not even in there or it will stop blinking and when i goto my drive under my comp it tells me to insert a disk. Also i do have power dvd5 installed.
