Whenever I use any cd rom drive(tried 2 different ones), it locks up windows as soon as it spins.(have to reboot) With either master or slave on the 2nd ide controller. I have 2 HDD so I can't try it on first ide. But the cd-rom and ide cable works fine on my other computer, and the drive works fine with bootable cds (windows install), it seems that I can boot up knoppix, and it works just fine too, i didnt change any drivers or anyhting and it just happened randomly. i just got newest chipset drivers after this happened and no change, and it crashes in safe mode too.

what is going on, and how do i fix it?
 
IIRC, peeps with the NF7 have had problems with optical drivers when using the nForce IDE drivers (dang, I'm forgetting their name now). The solutuion is to roll back to the MS IDE drivers. Try that.

Click to expand...

tried the sw drivers(supposed "performance") as well on a test mobo..they sukedazz .. had drives show as scsi and weren't properly working ..uninstalled..ran ms drivers..no problems with setup..
 
where do i get the MS drivers, when i uninstall the nvidia drivers the ones that automaticly install are from nvidia. is there somewhere i can download them from?
 
Do you have winXP? I don't, but keep reading that those who do can just "roll back" to the MS drivers. If you've got XP, look in the device manager for the "roll back" option.
 
Try following the instructions LINK. Looks like reinstaling the chipset drivers may be reqiured.

I know under win2k pro, I get the option NOT to install the nForce IDE drivers. I guess if you select not to, then the MS IDE drivers get installed.

I did exactly this, but it still says "NVIDIA NForce 2(tm) SPP/IGP ATA controller" in the device manager. Even if i uninstall those, I start the computer back up, and it still says that.
 
I made a new install of XP, booted that up, and still had the same problem. It even got to the point of being able to read the name of the cd, but still locked up aftet that.
