Windows XP: Dell 8300 DVD Drive Problems
Dell 8300 DVD Drive Problems
by lundp - 3/20/06 6:35 PMMy Dimension 8300 has two DVD drives, one is a reader and the other a DVD writer. Things seem to have gone haywire as neither drive will read CD / DVD media consistently or correctly. When I place a DVD video disk in the drive, Windows reports a generic CD-ROM on the drive icon. And CD media will not open.
This machine came with PowerDVD, Sonic and Roxio CD Creator software. I also have iTunes and RealPlayer installed.
The drives are working fine as I can use bootable CDs and DVDs to boot the Dell. It just seems to be a problem in Windows XP Pro.
Thanks
