I have a compaq nx9010 laptop with a toshiba sd c2612 dvd rom. I am using windows xp professional 5.1 sp2. Since I have reinstalled the windows,the dvd rom does not work properly. If I put any kind of discs into the drive it would recognize as an audio cd with some kilobytes of size. I tried plenty type of Windows install but none of them worked,and plenty modes of driver and firmware updates but all of them were in vain. I have read about this at the microsoft home page(DMA and PIO settings)but I have not understood..
There were a computerist-as you-who found a solution one year ago. He installed and made some changes at the windows,and worked well. Unfortunately I had to reinstall the xp last week but I can not make a contact with that computerist anymore.
I am looking forward to hearing from you
Thank you
Lazlo

- Hi there,
Thank you for your respond!
Unfortunately none of them works. I tried both way,but nothing changed. I forgot to tell you that the dvd rom is working in DOS mode,so I can boot from the device. Just when the Windows has been started up it does not work.

- Hell :D ... I changed the secondary IDE channel to PIO from DMA... And works again the dvd-rom.
To isolate the issue please perform following steps.
Click Start and select Run . In the Run box type devmgmt.msc and press enter. This will open Device Manager.
Click on + sign next to CD/DVD drive and right click on all the devices listed unde CD/DVD drive and select uninstall. Then restart the notebook. This will automatically install CD/DVD drive drivers. This should resolve the issue. However, if the issue persists please download and install following dougnox patch if you are using XP operating system.
