20 Most Recent Sony CRX320EE CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combo Drive Questions & Answers

Hi there,
I would like to suggest that you attempt to download & install the codecs that your media player requires, before it will play a DVD.
I found this typical when I was using the Vista operating system with Windows Media Player 11.
The codecs can be found as freeware online & a good site for the apt codecs for WMP 11 is @ www.majorgeeks.com once you are on the site, click multimedia on the left of the page, then scroll down to the codecs required.
The K-Lite series of codecs seem to work well with WMP 11 on Vista.
I truly hope that this has resolved your problem, as there is nothing better than watching a fine movie on the old PC.
Failing my advice, you could always 'Rip' the said movie to your media player & view it from your hard drive.
Good luck anyway.
Warmest regards,
Ste

go to hardware manager and uninstall it. then let it find it again, should fix it.

Assuming it is an internal drive, and it's hooked up properly, most of the time all you need to do is reboot your computer. The computer will recognize it as just a plain disc drive without proprietary drivers, but it will recognize it. It sounds to me like you might have either a bad connection or perhaps the ribbon isn't pushed all the way onto the pins. Does the light on it blink when you start up your computer, before Windows (you are using Windows, right) starts up?

What operating system do you have? The drive is fully supported by XP onwards and should be auto detected. You may have to delete the current driver in device manager reboot & Windows should install a compatible driver. (Start > right-click computer > properties > Device Manager > DVD Drives > Highlight faulty drive and delete > reboot) Also, WinXP does not allow you to burn DVDs unless you have appropriate burning software installed (e.g. Nero)

Right click on this drive in Device Manager, and allow Windows to search for the correct driver on the Internet.

installing CD drive no need installation driver, just install it like install Harddisk drive but you need to open the slot for your CD drive (dont forget to screw it). after u finish install it just reboot your computer, then the CD will automatically installed.

hope this useful.

CD/DVD drives will always show 0 bytes if there is no media present.
You will need extra software in order to burn DVD such as Roxio, Nero. I beleive the LG burners show come with software, you will need to install it in, and run it to burn DVDs.
Nero does offer a free version that will burn DVDs http://www.nero.com/ena/downloads-nero9-free.php

Kindly reinstall its driver and make it jumper settings properly.Good Luck

HERE IS WHAT YOU DO .!

is it new if its new then look for the customer support center for warranty and if its out of 6 months warranty then clean your DVD combo with cleaner and then check the SATA cable if its attached properly ,,, and also change the power supply wire, just for a check , if problem don't persist then may be you have a power supply issue... cause DVD power usage is a little high, and CD's take low POWER , just some points difference .

do vote if it helps

Hi,

My first test would be to determine if the blank DVD is faulty. Try using a different brand of DVD and see if you get the same error. My experience tells me that your combo drive is faulty however. It is possible for a combo drive to read a CD but not a DVD. I would replace the combo drive with a DVD writer as they are not too expensive.


Best wishes,
