Guest Wolfgang70 Posted September 17, 2007 Posted September 17, 2007 Hello, I'm hoping someone in here can give me a hand. I recently purchased a SATA DVD burner that has me perplexed. I hooked it up, set it up in windows and then put in a DVD and all it did was spin. It's an ECS KN1 Extreme mobo with 2 IDE HDD, one IDE DVD-ROM, floppy and flash card reader. It has six SATA ports that I tried three different cables into each one. The BIOS is updated and so are all of the drivers available for the mobo. I could not find a specific BIOS setting related to SATA. Windows recognizes the DVD burner and has assigned it a drive letter it just won't play a disc. Not DVD, DVD-r blank or even a CD. I know the burner works because I tested it on another system. I read somewhere that Windows will ask for SATA drivers upon install and I honestly don't know if I provided those then. I'm not sure if it's windows or not but I've poured over every BIOS feature that I can find with no success. Anybody have any bright ideas? Thanks, Wolfgang
