Dunnsdale Posted July 17, 2009 Author Posted July 17, 2009 Ok guys I've changed the cable and the problem still persists.I guess I need to change the drive next? Quote
Dunnsdale Posted July 17, 2009 Author Posted July 17, 2009 Looks like it unfortunately. Ok Wolfey....no problem.Thanks to the coaching from you guys I feel perfectly capable of doing that now.Is there a way I can find the spec of my current dvd rom drive without physically taking it out again and should I be thinking about upgrading that spec now that I have to replace it? Many thanks. Quote
Guest Wolfeymole Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 Go into Device Manager and click the + next to the DVD/CD-ROM to open it. This should give us a rough idea of what make the drive is. Consider this picture of mine where the drive is a TSST (Toshiba Samsung Storage Technology) drive. Quote

Guest Wolfeymole Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 Looking back to the beginning of this entire thread I just hope the board is not faulty. You could acquire an off the shelf DVDRW drive and hopefully all should be ok and they are cheap enough. If that does not solve the issue then the board is at fault and that screws everything up because then you would have to get a new operating system disk. Quote
