I had a sony cd-rw crx230e and it suddenly stopped working, so i thought it was just broken. I bought a sony dvd-rw dw-q120a and installed it. Apparently the drive was not the problem. The jumpers are set correctly and I thought maybe i needed to reinstall windows. I actually installed windows with the dvd drive, but after installing all other hardware drivers when ever I put a disk into the drive, it won’t read the disc and brings up the drive as if it were containing blank media. I have the secondary channel set to DMA, also. Not sure what the problem is, i put the drives into other systems and they work fine. Have a regular cd drive in secondary slave right now just so i could install drivers and software. If anybody has ever heard of this before, any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
