Guest TJD Posted October 8, 2008 Posted October 8, 2008 After of year of working, my external USB DVD burner would not load the device driver. The hardware was correctly recognized in Vista 64-bit (as well as in my BIOS). I tried uninstalling/reinstalling, using other USB ports, trying to update driver, and booting in Safe Mode. Nothing worked. Odd thing is that when I did check to update the driver Vista reports I have the latest version of the driver installed. So, I assumed it was a bad drive and bought a new one today (different brand) - same thing. Any solutions or ideas on this? Thanks, Tom

Guest Carlos Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 Re: DVD-ROM - Driver not recognized This dates back to early 2006 http://extended64.com/blogs/andre/archive/2006/01/07/1630.aspx Read Darrell Gorter notes below mine in that page.
