I have two SATA DVDRW drives in my PC, due to a weird situation, which is just as well because the original Samsung/TSST drive has been acting weirdly when playing DVDs (to the point of almost locking up the system completely - it won't restart properly IIRC).
When installing my wife's new PC build (which also has the same model Samsung drive), it refused to read a CD I have with dictionary software on, citing loads of bad block errors in the event log. It was just as well I had previously copied all the CD's files to HDD, so I copied them across to that PC and installed from that location instead.
I took the disc in question and tested it in Nero CDspeed (Win7 64, Nero 9 with update) on the LiteON drive in my PC. No problems with the ScanDisc feature, and the CD quality test came out pretty well as well (rating of 99 out of 100). I then tried to test the disc in the Samsung drive. CD speed couldn't see the Samsung drive. Windows can, Nero Express can, CD speed can't. WTF?
I tried two versions of CDspeed as well, same problem (4.77.something and 5).
- edit - I just disabled the LiteON drive in Device Manager and ran CDspeed again, and it recognised the TSST drive. Odd. Anyone else had this problem?
