- I have problem with my Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-K17A on my Tishiba A205. On windows explorer the DVD-RW doesn't show. But when I checked its driver via devman, windows said "The best driver software for your device is already installed", but still I see no drive for that optical driver. Any help??- tuluzzNov 12, 2008
- it wont read dvd-rw and dvd-r - GuestSep 04, 2008
- Same here. I have a Sony VGN-FE53B/W I bought in Japan with the Pioneer DVR-K17 in it. One month after the warranty is up it suddenly stops reading DVDs of all kinds. CDs: no problem. When I click the DVD-RW icon in My Computer, it simple spits out the tray and asks for a new disc.- rmdupuisYes

I also have an Acer Aspire 5630. When I tried to copy a DVD containing over 600 wedding photos to the hard drive using windows explorer, window reported file copy errors about half way through the photos. This happened also to another owner of another 5630.
After looking into this, I first found that I was already using the latest driver. When I went into the system device manager I next found that the driver DVD region parameter had never been set.
Once I corrected this, I was able to copy the DVD without errors.
Here is how you set the DVD world region:
1. Start Menu, select Control Panel
2. Select Classic View on left
3. Double click “System” Icon
4. On left select “Advanced system settings”
5. Press continue if Windows asks for permission.
6. Press Hardware tab at top of System Properties window
7. Click on device manager button
8. Expand DVD/CD-ROM drives
9. Double click on HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-T20N ATA Device
10. Click on DVD Region tab at top of new HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-T20N ATA Device window
11. Scroll down and select “United States”
12. Then press Ok. Reboot laptop. (Note dvd region can only be changed up to 4 times, then can’t change anymore)
Once I did this took about 5-8 minutes to copy all photos (some directories and other hidden system files still had to be skipped, but no errors now).

Same problem, read no dvd at first, but now has degenerated to not reading ANYTHING!

My Acer 5100 w/Pioneew dvd-rw has the same problem. I have only had it for 2 months. It reads cd's, but not dvd's. It just makes a funny noise. Then I tried to restore my settings-now Vista disappeared & I'm left with a blank black screen. Tried to reinstall Vista-but wouldn't you know it, it's on a dvd, and it won't read it. So it's getting fixed where I bought it. Glad it's under warranty!
