Hi, Sometimes these problem arises if any virus attacks your system, so first make your system virus free. And if its not the problem then your lense in the dvd drive is not working properly, its better to make repair it so that it works properly.

you need to downlaod the appropiate "loader" software for your box!

does it read the cd ? make sure that the IDE / SATA port are connected properly / or even usb cable if you use external cd burner...

I had the same problem with the GH22 Internal drive on vista. Assuming this is the only cd drive you have, just go to the device manager and remove/uninstall anything under "DVD/CD Rom Drives" then restart. It should get picked up and recognized properly. It took a couple of restarts to work. For refrence, I only have the LG GH22NP20 installed, what appears in device manager are 2 items... (1)HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM GH22NP20 SCSI CdRom Device... (2) KU1051Q EAG855E SCSI CdRom Device... Incase you have multiple cd drives, this should help tell em appart. Enjoy. IDK399

the only way i know is to buy a convertor like the 1 from the link

might be easier to just swap the drive you have if youve just bought it or buy a new ide drive

Did you try updating the hardware FIRMWARE? In some cases the firmware of some hardwares are out of date respect to the operative system they're working (or trying to work) on. In case you ignore it Firmware is the "software inside the Hardware". A serie of commands and parameters that give logic to the device, and therefore, tells the hardware how to respond. I hope this can solve your problem. Read your device's user guide to update your firmware or contact your provider. and don't forget to tell us if you solve the problem... ahh... and rate =)

you need to install win dvd or another dvd player or with wmp you will need to download the dvd addon from microsofts site
