Hi, I recently bought a Dell Latitude C610 1.0 Ghz laptop that came with 256 MB RAM / 20 GB hard drive from a computer show.
It also came with an 8x DVD-ROM/DISK DRIVE MODULE of type "8x DVD/24x CD" (according to the label on the part). The part number is 18THT-A00.
I booted up the laptop with BIOS version A16. In the BIOS, the DVD drive was read as "Modular Bay: CD-ROM".
In Windows XP SP2, the Device Manager says it is a "TEAC CD-224E" drive. The problem I have is that it can only read CDs, not DVDs. When it tries to read a DVD the LED flashes on and off.
I've read in the Dell discussion forum that this specific part number really is a DVD-ROM drive... S why is it being detected as a CD drive only? (I can't post there right now because registration is temporarily unavailable.)
I installed PowerDVD so that DVD playback drivers would be installed, but that still did not help matters.
