missing dvd drive on boot up (sometimes)


Recommended Posts

Hi

can you please help I have a DVD rewriter that I am having a few problems

with at the moment. I have flashed the latest firmware to the unit, the

problems are as follows:- when powering up the computer at the wall socket

the led comes on the drive all ok, when switching on the computer if the

led's on the drive come on again at various intervals I know that the writer

will 100% load as my k drive. If when booting up only the led flashes when

the mains is switched on and no led's when I start the computer the drive

will not load I then have to drop the 12 volt supply from the unit and

re-instate the 12 volts in order for the computer to recognise the drive.

Once the drive is up and recognised on the computer there is no problems with

it. What I have since found is that if I just get the led's when I power from

the wall and no led's when I switch on the computer if I escape to the boot

menu I find nothing about the drive in cd group, if I get the led's flashing

on the drive then escape to the boot menu it shows usb cd rom 0 freecom dvd

+/-rw1 and will load ok,does anyone know what is going on. I have also

removed upper and lower filters in the registry. Many thanks.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Regards
