    DVD-R/W drives read DVDs as CD-Rs only

    DVD-R/W drives read DVDs as CD-Rs only

    DVD-R/W drives read DVDs as CD-Rs only

    First one was an Optorite 16x dual layer burner, and the second one was an NEC. I put the DVD into my drive and it spins for a while then stops and changes the "DVD-R/W" label in My Computer to "CD-Drive". I thought this was just an isolated problem with my other burner, but could this be a...

    yes, this is a clean install. I only have the Steam client running. Now, I have gotten down to 25 FPS in the map "Office" and I think it's because of the stupid ATI/nVidia differences in the cards. Doom3 gives me very little slowdown when it does get intense... darn partial precision floating...

    SATA drive no being recognized

    I installed the drivers when prompted during the XP setup, and it even says that it will use the SATA drive as its mass storage device but then goes to the customary screen stating that I don't have an HDD. What is the matter? I'm using an ASUS A8V Deluxe with a single Hitachi 160 GB SATA drive.
