Insomneac Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 (edited) the driver is provided my microsoft not NVIDIAAll optical drives in Windows use a generic Microsoft driver. The only times I'm aware of where you need to install anything else is when using the drive for burning in DOS, where you need an ASPI layer (or for some programs), or for SCSI drives.For your setup, the Microsoft driver is fine.Did you install the correct motherboard drivers, and did you use the latest ones from the manufacturer's website? Is your Bios configured correctly?Is your drive's firmware the latest available?What programs are you using for burning, and what is the error or result?

JulsPower Posted November 7, 2009 Author Share Posted November 7, 2009 Not the actual dvd driver but atapi driver should be a nforce one??For your setup, the Microsoft driver is fine.Thanks then I still need helpDid you install the correct motherboard drivers, and did you use the latest ones from the manufacturer's website? lastest from asus pack of 200mb (installed them right after windows installation)Is your Bios configured correctly?I think so to have a raid I must set them to raid not AHCI right?also upgraded to the lastest biosIs your drive's firmware the latest available?I did try to update it but when it end (with 1.06) tell me something about bad atapi driver for my model ...What programs are you using for burning, and what is the error or result?I tried with deamon no error just always stay at 0%and many dvd cannot be read (even new mb dvd)ps my dvd is a GSA-H55NOne thing that was weird is many I reinstalled win7 3 time before getting it to workbecause of a weird error that make windows dont boot if my ide drive (connected with the dvd) was connected and the win7 dvd was not in the readerbut would boot if the win7 was in the dvd (fixed my unplugging the IDE HDD)Thanks for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulsPower Posted November 8, 2009 Author Share Posted November 8, 2009 I did something interesting herei change my old 40 wire cable to a 80 one (the onethat came with the mb)the drive is not set to UDMA 4 (in bios also)what can I do to acheive UDMA 6?

Insomneac Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Not the actual dvd driver but atapi driver should be a nforce one??Not sure if the Asus driver includes the latest one (they generally don't), but have you tried installing the latest nForce software for your chipset from nVidia? (That's the best way, regardless, and they're usually updated regularly)That's probably the most likely culprit, as it controls communication for devices.I think so to have a raid I must set them to raid not AHCI right?Yes, Raid is correct. AHCI is for non-raid sata setups.what can I do to acheive UDMA 6?I don't think you can with optical drives, they aren't fast enough to warrant UDMA 6, only hard drives.The most I've ever seen is UDMA 4 for optical drives.

JulsPower Posted November 9, 2009 Author Share Posted November 9, 2009 Hummgreat to know that I tried to burn a DVD and it workso most of the problem is fixed only by the cable It is still weird that 2 dvd I have (including a bran new) can t be read any idea on this?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insomneac Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 If you're sure the discs are OK, then usually a firmware update or a dirty laser (unlikely) are the most common causes.However, you said you couldn't update the firmware because of an error. Have you tried again since changing the cable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cluberti Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 If setup starts but fails, you can press SHIFT+F10 to get a command prompt and get the setup log files copied off to a usb key, as I mentioned here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insomneac Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Did you manage to install the nForce software for your chipset from nVidia? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulsPower Posted November 14, 2009 Author Share Posted November 14, 2009 for the chipset yesbut the dvd driver is still the microsoft atapi (which is normal) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insomneac Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 If you're still having problems, and you know for certain that the drive is OK, the only thing I can think of is a corrupt registry entry.This is usually caused by burning programs when they're installed.Try the following solution from Microsoft: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/929461 (It works for Windows 7, as I've used it when fixing PC's for friends)Before you touch the registry, create a restore point first, then make a backup of the keys you change.There's no guarantee this will work, but I don't know what else you can try. Installing a DVD drive is fairly straight forward if you have the correct motherboard drivers installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
