My Sony drive records and reads just fine, but whenever I try to play a game I get an error indicating my optical drive is not detected. What is causing this issue?
Answer:
Disable your native Windows XP burning software. Also go to Device Manager, under the IDE ATA/ATAPI Controller, change the IDE controller to a Standard Dual Channel controller.
Go to:
- Right Click My Computer
- Choose Properties
- Choose Hardware
- Choose Device Manager
- Click the + in front of IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers
- Double Click the Intel IDE Controller
- Click on the Driver Tab
- Choose Update Driver
- Choose Display a List..
- Choose Next
- Choose the Standard IDE Controller
- Click Next
- Make sure you reboot the system so the changes take affect
