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
