Just installed a new DVD DL/RW in my system.
system: Intel 1.8 gighz, 1 gig mem Current bios for board manufacturer, current windows xp Sp 2, all things updated as best as I can tell. System meets requirments for the use of this drive.
The device is installed as master on the secondary IDE port. No other drives are installed with it.
Problem: Bios recognizes the drive. Windows XP recognizes the drive. Drive will not autoplay. I can access the drive and explore it. So know it is functioning to some extent. However, I cannot install or run anything from the drive even though it sees files and folders there. I am running the drive in DMA mode. DVD's are recognized, but appear as corrupted or pixelized. I can copy files to the drive, but the burn to that drive is courrpted even though it shows file names and file folders on the drive. If I try to click on setup.exe on the installation disk for Nero5 it tells me an entry point in kernel32.dll cannot be found. However, I can use my old TDK cd/rw and it will read the disk fine and autoplay/install the software.
I like to add this is the second drive, from a totally different manufacturer to show these same symptoms, so sure it is the system, not the drive. LIke to add I removed all the cd burning software I know of on the drive. Including windows media player 10.
About at wits end with this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
