To resolve DVD drive issues after upgradation to 7 from Vista
Hi,
I have a Lenovo 3000 Y500 Laptop - Intel (R) Core (TM)2 CPU with T5300 @ 1.73 GHz, 2 GB RAM with Matshita DVD RAM UJ-85jS ATA Device. I have authentic Windows 7 Ultimate OS (32 bit). The original laptop (purchased fresh) had Windows Vista Home Basic.
After up-gradation, I have had constant issues with drivers mainly with DVD drive. It doesn't even recognize many of the formats which were fine with Vista Home Basic. Shows discs as blank!
Recently I installed a s/w with an USB based external DVD drive and I started to have BSODs (Blue Screen of Death). I just uninstalled that software and all BSODs stopped! So an external DVD drive is not a solution for me.
I have been suggested that I go for Dual Boot mode with Vista Home Basic additionally (even XP) That can make my DVD drive would recognize and play the discs fine!
Please give me your opinions/suggestions.
If I can get drivers compatible for my HW and Win 7 Ult without any dual mode, please suggest the ways too!
