I have recently upgraded to Win7 pro 64Bit. I downloaded most of my software vie my ODD. it stopped working and did not appear as D drive. I have replaced it with a Samsung SH224DB. same problem, the drive is present in bios screen. It will not auto run I have tried downloading a new driver as the win7 one is dated 2006. Samsung only appear to have firmware to download. any advice would be appreciated. It is an strange problem to me there must be hundreds of millions of ODDs in use every day how is it so easy to have a problem with one and so hard to solve it??

The driver for all ODDs is built-in to Windows as, regardless of make or model, they all conform to the same technology and have done for years, so a generic Microsoft driver is all that's required. That's why the manufacturer's don't supply a driver, they don't need to.

It's evidently not the ODD that's the problem if previous one had the same symptoms, so I would try changing the SATA cable, there may a break in the existing one which can't be seen if the insulation isn't damaged.

If the DVD tray operates in/out and the disc spins, that eliminates the power cable as a possible cause.

Hello Philip. When I checked the driver it indicated error 39 possible corrupted. I deleted the existing driver after trying to repair it from the Samsung site. and tried a fresh download of the full package, then realized the , for some reason only supply firmware downloads. I now need a clean copy of the driver. as I said it appears in the bios but will not auto run the CD that came with the ODD. Trying to find the drivers available from Microsoft is driving me mad. It is in reality a simple operation. what is bad is I have now found many references to these particular ODD drivers being susceptible to failure or corruption. The problem with the TSST odd drivers is in epidemic proportions. Any advice on where I can get the driver would be much appreciated. I have changed the SATA cable no change.. Cheers.
