Okay, this is driving me nuts. My dvd burner will not work. Vista doesn't recognize any disks put in it, and sometimes the drive will crash explorer.
This is not a Vista problem. And it's not a hardware problem with the drive. I've tried 3 different drives so far (2 SATA drives, and 1 IDE drive) and all have the same problem. I've also completely disconnected my hard drives and it won't boot from the Vista disk - says it's not a valid boot disk (it is, I installed Vista with it). I've tried different SATA cables, and all four ports on the board. The PSU voltages all look good. I've updated the bios to the latest version.
I really don't know what else to try. Any help at all would be GREATLY appreciated, I'm going nuts.
Also, if I end up having to RMA the motherboard, any idea if newegg will cross-ship so I don't have to go a week or two without a computer?
Thanks in advance.
