Lite -on dvd ldw 411s

Hi,

Here are some steps that can help you isolate the issue.

To check the functionality of your Drive try to boot outside windows, like booting to Windows Operating system, if this works then your Optical drive is working, if not then you have to replace it.
If it is booting up, try deleting the upper and lower filters, click on start, run, type regedit then ok. click on the [+] HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class then click on {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}, then delete the upper and lower filter. then restart your computer. Also you can try different CD as sometimes optical drive are sensitive to the disc.

I hope this will be able to help you.

Thank you for choosing Fixya.

I assume you would like to play a DVD on Windows XP and it does not work.

Windows XP does not contain DVD player software out of the box. You need to install third party software for this. Commercially available programs include "WinDVD" (Corel) or "PowerDVD" (InterVideo).
A free alternative is VLC, available here: http://www.videolan.org/

You do not need a manual or special driver for your DVD drive; DVD drives share a common interface and work with Windows using a generic driver.

Hi,

if it,s only downloaded movies, that won,t burn/Write.
I,d assume that the downloaded content, is Copyright Protected.
Other suggestions Are:- your CD/DVD Burner does not support the types of files, that are being downloaded. You could try a Video Converter Program. Or alternatively. Change your DVD Burning Software.

Mike @ compurepair.

Do you mean software to burn DVD's? If so there are a ton of programs out there as a simple Google search will show you. I do have a particular favorite you can find it here.

upgrade firmware

On the front of the burner there is a pin hole. Take a paperclip and unfold it so it's a point. Stick it in the hole and it should open the tray. This should FixYa!

Lite-On LDW-401 firmware 1.04

The lite dvd+rw ldw-401s has the very same problem most of the time.

You will need to check the master slave properties through bios.
IF your dvd drive is properly configured, then it will auto detect it.

Is your sys on which you have have your windows is fat or ntfs?

Please reply then i'll advise you further if your system still doesn't recognize r drive
