Basically, I bought a TSST SH-S203P DVD RW the other day, with a view to burning a load of crap from my hard drive onto some DVDs to clear some space and whatnot. It's a SATA drive, and was the first time I'd ever installed anything using SATA before but I figured it'd be fine.
Well, I plugged it in, and once the comp booted up Windows XP recognised it, but it just won't work at all. The first time I put either a CD or DVD in, it would not open the discs, or correctly display their size, showing them as either blank discs with nothing on, or sometimes with odd bits of files. Now whenever I click on a disc in the drive it tells me that it is corrupt and unreadable. I tried using Nero to burn some DVDs, but it told me they were the wrong type (which they're not), and the types of DVD I could burn to wasn't the complete list I checked on the Samsung Electronics website.
I shouls be able to read and burn almost everything with the drive, and the DVDs I've got for burning are DVD-R. I uninstalled Nero, and tried to install new firmware, but it's fully updated, and then started getting BSODs, so I reverted my hard drive back to before I installed Nero so it's basically back to where it was initially.
I'm using an MSI K9MM-V motherboard. I updated the hyperion 4in1 drivers (which didn't solve it) on the advice from another forum, but I haven't heard anything back for a while so I thought I'd try here. Any help to solve this problem would be much appreciated, thanks!
