Installed Samsung SH-S182M It is recognized in my BIOS MOBO - Asus A7N8X Deluxe CPU - AMD Athlon XP 2600 & 1 GIG Ram running XP Pro It is recognized in device manager of Windows XP as: TSSTcorp CD/DVDW SH-S182M I have latest firmware installed - SB02 Windows Media Player says I have no disc in drive. Nero 6 Ultra says same thing. Data CD does work. I can put in the Samsung CD and it loads just fine. Media CD's and DVD's are not recognized. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
I got my own answer and thought I'd post it. I just got off phone with Tier 2 tech at 1-800-SAMSUNG. He told me there was firmware problems with this drive and I would have to send it in. I just bought it at Best Buy, so it's actually going back and I'm buying a different brand.
I think the issue is with certain computers, not all of them. I bought the drive based on good reviews, but I think the problem may be they have compatibility problems with some computers.
