I have windows 7 64 bit OS.
just bought this:
Lite-On 24X SATA DVD+/-RW Dual Layer Drive - IHAS124-04 B
just installed it today and just got it in the mail.
This is about the 7th drive.
the dvd burner can't read any cds or dvd.
when tray is emtpy no cd or dvd in it. Then when you close it.
It will keep searching for a cd or dvd. trying to read a cd or dvd and it won't stop doing this.
when a cd is in it. it will stop reading and you would get a nice error message only when you go to my computer and click the drive to run the cd or dvd. It will give you an error saying please insert a cd or dvd.
then if you take the cd out and then close the tray with no cd at all the dvd burner will keep searching for the cd or dvd none stop as if it's about to read the cd or detects there is a cd in it.
Why is this? Do I need to reflash the dvd burner. I didn't flash it in the first place but the seller on ebay told me that this version is flashable and there are some custom firmware that you can download and flash this dvd burner. The seller claims he never opened the dvd burner or done anything to it that it was brand new. Yet, it came shipped in a box not a retail box just a regular mail box with cusion stuff and just the dvd burner in a plastic sleeve with 2 plastic things on 2 sides of the dvd burner.
This is the 7th one I bought. I returned the others which I bought from newegg.com those ones never even got detected.
Yet, with this one it is detected by bios and the OS. The device manager says the driver and device is working.
I am clueless on what to do. I am thinking I need to reflash the firmware maybe it wasn't done properly or something went wrong.
It's the only guess I have but I can't find the firmware software online to flash thing.
the manufacture only has a software that checks for updated firmware they don't give you any firemware just give you software that takes your dvd burner version information and then check in their database for updated firmware.
any ideas what I should do??
