Its not the drive, it is your software. Your drive is just a piece of hardware that does nothing on its own. Do google search to copy audio cd and use a program you find.
It shouldn't be a driver issue. DVD drives are natively supported by XP. What software do you have installed for playing DVD'? Windows Media Player 11 would be excellent, and it's free from Microsoft. PowerDVD and WinDVD are also good, but you have to buy them.
The factory says that you cannot change the drive from a CD drive to a DVD drive yourself. Although you can physically make the change, they indicate that the motherboard needs to be modified or changed in order to switch from CD to DVD. That's why they get $400 to make the upgrade. They don't provide any parts to do this, either, because I'm sure it wouldn't be a trivial change.
no longer possible to post there, file too big and they dont support the size and format...
Finedrive is no longer selling the FD400 in the us and provide no support so getting an update from them is no longer possible. one dealer sells an upgrade disk for $150
I made a DVD that I sell on ebay (search for finedrive dvd) for basically the cost of labor and materials, it updates the firmware and map data to the last version issued (2007) for this mode. you need a PD, SD card reader and good DVD drive to do the update, instructions are included...
Hi, this issue may occur if the firmware is not installed. Please Click on start>>> run >>> type devmgmt.msc and hit enter.
Look under DVD drive. You should find the name of the driver. Search for available firmware at support.dell.com by either entering the service tag of the computer or by product type. That should make it work.
If not, try in safe mode. If that too does not work, call Dell tech and mention the steps and ask for a replacement. YOu will get it in no time if system is under warranty
write me at [email protected] if this does not work. On the dvd there is also a zipped version of the map_sd directory, copy it to your pc and unzip it and then copy the contents to your sd card. as the file is so large, some dvd drives have issues reading it.
Thanks.
