adcsi, welcome to the forums
have you tried to simply update the driver to see if it works? Is that the correct DVD drive?
Also, please fill in your system specs (lower left corner), that will help other members help you further.

how old is the drive? when was the last time it was cleaned with canned air? do the disks that dont work in that dvd work in another dvd?

have you tried opening your pc WHEN IT's OFF and unplugging and plunging the cables (power and connector). if that fails than you are out of luck and need to buy a legit brand name.

Hi adcsi. Is your DVD drive IDE or SATA? Just last night I had a problem with a IDE drive and the connections. I also have a IDE HDD in that machine. If I connect the DVD to the middle connector (and HD at the end), it works fine. If I connect it to the end connector and HD in the middle, it will only read CDs, does not recognize any DVD. I bought a SATA DVD drive which shoudl arrive tonight...
I have anoterh older cable where the connectors are marked CD and HD. The newer ones are not.
Plese check that and let us know

Hi, try this, go into Device Manager and right click on your DVD player, and when the option window comes up select Uninstall and click ok, when it has Uninstalled the Dvd
player click the button on the top of the Device Manager page that says,
Scan for hardware changes,
let windows reinstall it and see if that helps.

 

[adcsi]

Tryd that to but whitout any use Pfiuuu i start to think that i have to put Xp back cuz this is makeing me nuts.

 

[DocBrown]

Do you have any other drives you can test with this machine ?

adcsi, try the Vista drivers for your North Bridge: MSI Europe – Computer, Laptop, Notebook, Desktop, Mainboard, Graphics and more
this is for the V2 of your board, if it is V3, MSI Europe – Computer, Laptop, Notebook, Desktop, Mainboard, Graphics and more
I noticed one worrisome warning on their website:
MSI Reminds you:
Because of the limitations of chipset, this MB does not support Win98/ME.
It might be your board will not work well with Win7
