DVD drive will not open folder to view files with Windows Explorer
I recently bought a second internal dvd drive, physically installed it, plugged it into the last remaining SATA port on the mother board.
When I inserted a data dvd, autoplay popped up giving me one option - to open folder to view files with Windows Explorer. When I clicked that option nothing happened.
When I insert a blank dvd, Nero opens its burning app as it is set to and I'm able to burn a dvd on that drive. Nero is also set to verify the compilation which it does with no problem.
When i reinsert the same dvd, the same option pops up with the same result - nothing.
When insert an audio cd, Winamp will play the cd but I'm not able to "open" the cd with Windows Explorer.
By trying all combinations of cables and dvd drives to make sure that both the cables and drives were working properly, I determined that whatever drive was plugged into that last SATA port would not function properly.
The only options in my BIOS that I could find referring to SATA drives was to enable or disable the SATA controller.
I'd really like to have both dvd drives fully functional and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
