Ok, I wonder if anyone here can help out with this one.
In my moms comp, she is running XP Pro SP2, and just recently decided to upgrade to a DVD writer with Litescribe from Lite-On. She used to have a CD-RW and a DVD-ROM drive (two sperate drives). Got the new drive, removed the old ones, installed new ones (set jumpers correctly and that), booted into XP, and it was recognized. The problem is that she can not read any discs at all in the drive. The drive can burn though, and the discs are readable. We booted here comp into Knoppix with the DVD-ROM drive in also, and both drives were able to be read. So we know that it is all software in Windows. Some forums she was on said Nero can cause this, and she wiped it, along with all its entries in the registry, and still can't read. Any idea on how to fix before a reformat and reinstall.
Also, can anyone recommend a good, free burning software capable of iso files. I got the CD-RW out of this, and want to start playing with Linux a lot more now that I can?
