| TSST 522U won't recognize DATA DVD. Happens on a dual boot machine in BOTH Ubuntu Linux and WinXP. Used to work; just stopped. Also hangs on Boot if DATA DVD is in drive. DVD movies & CDs work perfectly both OS's. Q: I'm pretty sure this a hardware problem...has a read head died in the drive? Q2: Is it possible to have DVD movies play but not DATA DVD work? - Thanks |

| If DVD movies read OK, then it's doubtful the DVD laser is dead  These data DVDs that it won't read, are they pressed commercial DVDs, or burned ones?

| There are EA sports games (pressed commercial). The odd thing is, if the game DVDs are left in the machine during a reboot - the machine hangs. It's constantly trying to read the DVD. Could it be a chip on the drive ROM board that went bad? I replaced the PSU in the machine, and as its a SFF (small form factor), it was a tight squeeze. Could I have mangled one of the IDE wires in the IDEtoMB cable? If I had, shouldn't I see weird stuff with CDs? (which I don't). - CH |
| VideoDVDs are also only DataDVDs with a VIDEO_TS folder and other standards. So the problem lies with drivers or software.

| okay. So why isn't the DATA DVD read at boot? in the Linux OS? These DATA DVDs were working a few days ago. If it's a driver or software problem, shouldn't it be OS specific? If the problem is OS independent (i.e. at boot before GRUB, during hardware check) - then I would assume its hardware related. - CH |
| PROBLEM SOLVED: It was a BAD (NERO) InCD install. Did an uninstall/re-install and problem is fixed. What is really odd is that it effected the machine at a very low level boot; and the Linux O/S on a dual boot. Q: Does InCD flash the firmware somehow? |
