Hi *insert big sigh here* I'm still having difficulty installing my dads Multi DVD Drive (LG GSA 4167B) To bring people upto date, we both bought the same drives, i've installed mine in my PC, and i've been trying to install my dads in his PC. Mine installed without too much difficulty, I updated the ASPI (adeptec) and it sorted itself out more or less. My dads has been a nightmare, i've taken the actual drive to my house and installed it on my PC so I can write-off any idea of the Drive being faulty, it worked fine in my PC, so it's got to be something in my dads PC. We have more or less exactly the same PC, and they have just both been reformatted and a fresh install of XP has been done. The only differences I can see at present are: 1. DADS PC : In Device Manager, my PC has the Primary IDE Channel Current Transfer Mode for Device 0 set at Ultra DMA Mode 4. MY PC: it is set at Ultra DMA Mode 2 2. DADS PC: He has updated his Nvidia graphics driver as his TFT monitor was crap with the normal XP install. MY OC: I just have a CFT Monitor and it works fine on the XP install. I've not changed my graphics drivers. I mention this as I have read on a few forums that Nvidia drivers can take over your ATI Drivers...this is where I get a bit lost as I'm not an expert. What DADS DVD can do: It is showing in My Computer as a DVD-RAM Drive, until you place a disc in it.... 1: Blank DVD-R/-RW/+r/+rw = Either freezes PC or the Icon for the drive changes to a CD Drive, it will not burn to a disc. 2: Comercial DVD = Will read the DVD and playback whats on it, film etc. When using Nero 7 it will take ages transacoding, then when it comes to burning an error message comes up stating 'Cannot burn to Disc, the drive is in use'. This is really bugging me now, it must be something really simple within the settings, but I just don't know what, I've read what feels like every forum on the net, and although many people have similiar experiences, they tend to find the problem with trying more expensive discs (I've tried TDK, JVC as well as cheapo, with no luck) For some reason I cannot get the IMAPI CD-Burning COM Service to stay 'Started', I've started it and put it into Automatic, but when I reboot it's stopped again. I've done a check with nero Infotool, here is the data thats brought up: Nero InfoTool 4.00 Drive Information ------------------ Drive : IDE DVD-ROM 16X Type : DVD-ROM Drive Firmware Version : 1.32 Buffer Size : 512 KB Date : ?

Please if you can think of something let me know
Dude i'm having problems with this drive (LG GSA 4167B) too. First of all where is the driver? It doesn't come with the installation CD. I've downloaded firmwares and an update to the driver but there's no use of doing it. It's recognized as a DVD RAM drive by my PC but once i insert a disc it changes to CD ROM.
Well we've still not got this one working. We've tried everything, the only thing left is to update the BIOS. as for drivers, ours didn't come with any, if you've got xp you don't really need them anyhow, my model works fine without them.
Can you tell me how you have your cables setup such as what is on Primary IDE and what is on Secondary IDE along with jumper settings on ALL hardware connected to cables?
I have the same situation. I heard a rumour about power supplies being an issue. I'm running a 250w supply and mine won't recognize DVD-R media (+R plays and burns fine). I installed it in a friends pc who has a 350w supply and it works. What is the wattage of yours and your dads? If they are different in output, try swapping the supplies and try the drives again.
I mentioned this in my own thread, but it turned out my problem was simple. I couldn't write to any DVD, +/- or RAM, because my version of NERO(5.5.9.14) didn't support the drive. I've heard plenty of others talk about the power supply issue, though. To the person wondering about the jumper settings, I originally tried setting the jumpers the same as they had been for my old setup, two drives on one IDE controller both set on "CSEL". The computer kept crashing. I finally set the LG as master and my older Pioneer drive as slave and I had no more crashing problems.
yea, since my last post I tryed everything setting the jumpers other cables, nothing worked. I have a 1.2 GHz amd processor, 256 ram, old motherboard with via chipst, I haven't yet tryed putting in additional ram or changing the motherboard. I don't think it's the power supply.
Hello! You might like to reinstall Nero and DO NOT install InCD or if you prefer you can go to Nero Tools: http://ww2.nero.com/nero6/en/InCD_CleanTool.html and download the InCD_CleanTool which will remove it. If you use Shrink, AnyDVD, or similar software, reinstall them. Hope you get a good result. Toodle Loo... Dixie
Have read this thread with interest. I have same drive. Seems to work fine with third party apps but cannot make it work with MS Media Player i get "No CD or DVD Burner has been detected". Have updated f/w; change registry setting to 1 in: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CD Burning\Drives\Volume{90cada12-9cd5-11da-9847-806d6172696f} and have updated ASPI drivers all to no avail. Explorer describes the drive as a CD Drive (rather than DVD) but plays DVD OK. Trouble is, the kids use MS Media Player. The system did has a CD-ROM in it and this LG drive replaces a DVD ROM / CD Writer. Hope someone can suggest what to do next.
Well ok ppl, after fooling around with this writer for a long time I quit. I tryed everything I could think of: unplugging the cables, switching different cables, install/uninstalling drivers, software, putting different media into it, and finally I sold the thing. But, before doing so I've tested it on four different computers, that have at least 2.0GHz processor, 512 ram, 400 W power supply and it worked great. So it may have something to do with either your motherboard, ram or as many said power supply. Altought for me I think it was the motherboard ( but haven't test it).
