I recently upgraded to Windows 7 64 bit and used my DVD drive to upgrade.
My drive was found by windows and was displayed under device manager but I never checked to see if it actually worked in windows. I then installed the program SPTD 1.60 (SCSI-Pass-Through-Direct 1.60) and after that, my drive showed up with an exclamation mark in windows. This program is required for virtual cd-devices (daemon tools).
So I uninstalled the drive and restarted and it found it again and installed proper drivers. BIOS also shows the drive as well.
However, I am unable to play, view, or burn any files when a CD or DVD is in the drive and can't figure out what the problem is. Whenever I put a disk in, it just spins and can never be read. Whenever I try to burn, Nero just stalls while "checking disk."
Windows shows the drive listed as the following: _NEC DVD_RW ND-3540A SCSI CdRom Device.
The drive is a NEC ND-3540A dvd burner so the listed is correct.
I have also tried the trick to make digitally unsigned drivers alright in windows and also taken off windows burning feature but nothing seems to help.
What is the problem and how do I fix it?
THANKS
