I will stick with vista until all of this is sorted. is your DVD win 7 compatible? what version of Windows 7 RTM are you using? where did you get your download? is your install borked? is your install corrupted? what version x86 or x64? Quote: The software giant even revealed the specific devices that are affected by problems: “This problem may occur if you use one of the following DVD drives on the computer: Sony BC-5100S DVD, Sony BC-5600S DVD and TSST TS-L633B DVD+/-RW.” According to Microsoft there are two workarounds that end users can turn to. The first is the simplest, and it involves updating the firmware for Sony BC-5100S DVD, Sony BC-5600S DVD and TSST TS-L633B DVD+/-RW. “To check for an applicable firmware update, contact the manufacturor of the DVD drive,” Microsoft noted. None listed above are in the list. Therefore it is the Device Manufacture not Windows 7 the OS. |

| | I ha to put vista back on as i could not get the dvd drive to work under 7. The notebook is brand new and the drive is a Slimtype DVD A DS8A3S. When i had 7 on it would not even appear in device manager at all and my download came directly from MSDN, it is working fine on the desktop pc i have. I also have another notebook with the same make of drive, but not the same model and it also happens with that as well. I did run the win 7 upgrade advisor and it found no issue's with my system. How do i find out if my drives are ready for windows 7. |
