hey,
I have a problem with my lite-on dvd writer (SOHW - 1213S). If i startup he doesn't recognize my dvd drive, if i then reboot he recongnize it. I use the drivers from xp, witch lite-on says jou schould do.
Does anyone have an idee what the problem could be
Thanks
Could you please be more specific with your problem? Are you unable to use Nero or some other recording software? Is it not showing up at all in "My Computer"?
Err umm .. it doesn't see it on a cold boot (when pressing the on button), but it will on a warm one (when reset is pressed) ;)Quote:

ED-it : & of course Welcome to windrivers forums morrigan :thumbs:
That's what I would try first. Try the different combos by changing the jumper settings. You also may want to try a new IDE cable just to be sure.Quote:

hey,
The software is irralevant, you can't see the drive in my computer and not in device manager.
The thing is on a cold boot he sometimes does everything ok (he recognize it) and other times not.
I have a asus P4P800-vm motherboard and the bios hasen't been flashed.
The lite-on is on the second ide with my plextor cd writer.
I'm gonna try the suggestion of putting the lite-on as slave
I will let you guys know if it worked
Thanks for the repond
How did it go morrigan?
hey
the lito-on was already slave and the plextor is master.
I haven't got time to experiment a lot because of work, but i am ganna try it with lite-on as master
