I have 2 identical desktop machines running Windows Vista. I purchased SSDs for them and installed them. On machine #1 everything worked fine. On machine #2 I could not get the Windows CD/DVD to work - It would just spin and then I would get a no OS found message. I took the CD/DVD drive out and installed the known good one from machine #1, still could not get it to function. I put the drive from #2 into #1 and the CD/DVD drive worked fine.
Since they are identical, I loaded Windows on the SDD on machine #1 and then moved it into machine #2. Everything works fine except the CD/DVD drive.
Machine #2 can see the CD/DVD drive in the BIOS and I have updated the drivers in Windows. Still have the issue. I then noted that these machines came with Roxio burning software. I installed the software and now the drive can read Factory CD/DVDs. It sees all CDR/DVR discs as blank regardless of what is on them. If I uninstall Roxio, the drive will not read anything.
I tried the Microsoft fix of deleting the upper and lower filters with no luck.
I uninstalled / re-installed several times with no joy.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
