Hey everyone, I have a strange and what I thought\think is a unique problem. I have at Lite-On DVDRW LH-20A1H drive that refuses to read, burn, or do anything with DVD's. I can burn, and read CD's fine, but nothing doing with DVD's. I've gone out to Lite-On's site and pulled down the latest driver, and that hasn't fixed the issue. I ran a Disk cleaner through it, same result, I swapped out my IDE cable, still nothing.

I'm running a customer box with an ASUS M2N32 - SLI Deluxe, Dual core AMD Athlon, 2 gigs of RAM, Win XP, Nero 7.

I'm running out of ideas or reasons why this isn't working. If anyone has any suggestions or tips, I'd appreciate it very much.

Thanks!

Test the drive on another computer.
I had the same problem on a Gigabyte motherboard and it miracously fixed itself.
Look for a bios update for your motherboard.
