I was trying to use dvd decrypter and dvdshrink but wouldn't work. Stuff has been choppy on dvds. Well i was looking at the driver and under Sony DVD RW Dru-710A Properties, Driver Provider: Mircrosoft Driver Date: 7/1/2001 Driver version 5.1.2535.0 this can't be right, i looked into the windows system32 file and drivers and under cdrom it says SCSI cd rom driver, is this right? Am i using SCSI? I went to microsofts website and couldn't find a driver for a dvd rom or cd rom at all. What can i do, can someone please help me!
 
It depends on which controller on your motherboard it is plugged into. If it is plugged into a controller that is not native to the chipset then it may display as a SCSI device. I am not sure that is what it is but you may want to check. Generally you want to have your optical drives on the chipset's controller.
 
what do you mean, under idea ata/atapi controllers it lists the following, NVIDIA nFORCE3 250 PArallel ATA Controller and 2 others as the same name below it. But under DVD/CD ROM drives it lists the drive as microsoft and 7/1/2001 is the date. how can i update that? i can't find it on windows update
 
The driver is the windows driver for an optical device such as a cdrom or dvd drive. That is normal. I have the same driver for all of my systems. I don't have much experience with nForce motherboards, but as an example on my P4 Asus board there is one ide channel that is native to the chipset. A drive will show up with just its name. It also has an additional IDE controller that ASUS has implemented into the board. Any drive that I add to that controller will show up as a SCSI Disc Device. I do not know why but that is the way it is on several boards I have used. I imagine that the SCSI driver is for the add on controller. Anybody else know?
