Samsung TS-H552B DVD-RW Problems
Hi everyone,
this is the first time ive used a forum and id like to say the help i have seen posted on here is first class!
My problem is with a samsung ts-h552b DVD-RW. I bought it from Ebay last week and installed it. First off it was not being read by Device manager but it would show up on the BIOS. At that time i also had a CD-RW installed as the master drive so i installed the DVD-RW as a slave drive, but the PC would only read the DVD-RW after i installed the dos drivers. If i reset the PC it would lose it again so would have to reinstall the drivers everytime i shut down.
I solved this problem by disconnecting the CD-RW and making the DVD-RW the master drive. The PC now reads the DVD-RW everytime! (YAY)
The problem i have now is the the DVD-RW burns CD's but will not burn DVD's! It will read DVD disks with no problem but will not burn them. I thought it might be because i needed to update the Firmware. So i did from version TS03 to TS04, still not burning DVDs. After installing the new firmware, Nero 6 Ultra edition now tells me when the burn fails that i have a SCSI/IDE ERROR. I know a tiny abit about them (as what they are!) so i thought id be brave and swap the IDE's on the motherboard around, but when i do the PC doesnt read the hard drives so that didnt solve anything. My IDE setup is as follows...
IDE 1 ----- Hard drive 1 ------ Hard drive 2
IDE 2 ------------------------ DVD-RW
The only thing i can think of next is to reinstall Windows 98 SE, yes i know im still running that!
sorry this is such a detailed post but i wanted to inform you as much as possible.
thanking you for any help
