Hi
I have a desktop PC running Windows 7 Pro. I have just had to re-install W7 after a hard drive failure and now my two DVD RWs wont work. Another DVD R does work OK. The two DVD RWs show up in My Computer but if I click the icon I get a messge to insert a disc which I do but the disc doesnt play. What does happen is that the DVD light illuminates for about a second and then goes out. I note from the net that there are issues with certain DVDs and W7 but the Samsung SH-222AB/BEBE is supposed to be compatible. I have downloaded a firmware update from Samsung but when I run it I get the message "cant find suitable drive for firmware". I have tried Microsofts Mr Fixit without success and also the ALPM "fix" which is on the net. Is there any way to force the drive to start up so that the firmware fix can be applied. Any thoughts or further advice will be very much appreciated.
