Serious DVD drive issue!!

<< < (2/3) > >>

Try the drive on a seperate IDE channel altogether.  It's possible (but unlikely) that the slave connector on your cable could be bad... it wouldn't be the weirdest thing I've heard of.  And don't bother with Cable Select, just double check that your settings are correct.

It sounds like the drive is bad though... I think your instincts are right on this one.

Ah not going to bother the tray should still work with just power and it doesn't. Looks like return :)


Just to test the cable I will hook up my regular extra cd-rom drive. That will tell for sure!

Had the same problem with my ASUS drive.  I had to send it back.  Have fun dealing with their customer service...they are terrible.  Don't get me wrong I like ASUS, but am a bit sour of their optical drives

Well everyone was saying how great there mobo were so I thought I would give there dvd drive a shot guess I was wrong! I am very happy with the mobo I got so far! Well we will see what happens!

If you happen to get a refund, and begin to look elsewhere for a drive...

I've been very happy with my Lite-On brand optical drives, and the customer reviews I've read back that up.  I have one of their DVD burners in my desktop and a DVD-ROM in my arcade setup.  If you use Pricewatch.com, you can find them very cheap.
