Problem with AnyDVD and SATA drive

[chuggie]

I recently purchased a Samsung SH-S203N SATA drive, connected to a PCI-to-SATA expansion board (PNY model P-DSA150-PCI-RF). I had success with DVD Decrypter with an older Lite-On PATA drive. Neither DVD Decrypter nor AnyDVD (says drive is disabled) will recognize the new drive now. Running either locks the PC up, requiring a forced re-boot. The drive otherwise functions normally, reading and writing.

Being that the drive and card were the only change I made, is that issue? Does AnyDVD not recognize because of the connection to the card?

I have that burner in a Vista Ultimate 64 bit system, and the burner works perfectly fine. However, it's not connected to an expansion board.

If other programs besides Anydvd do not recognize this drive, you are probably experiencing some sort of driver issue or bios issue.


One thing I can do is see if there are any conflicting drivers listed in your filter stack:

a) Download imgburn. It's a free program: click http://www.imgburn.com/index.php?act=download
(it's also an excellent program imo)

b) Go to Tools > Filter Driver Load Order. Click "Clipboard". Then paste the information you pasted into your clipboard into your next post (ctrl-v).

Okay, thanks. Will do when I get home.

The card would appear to be OK.

I don't know. I would expect he has the same burner (don't know if it's the Lightscribe version).

I have the same drive zebadee has the 203B without LS but it is the same. If I see him I'll ask him to pop in as I believe he uses one of these types of cards as well if I remember right.

Meanwhile remove those bad filter by uninstalling the drag to disc and musc matchbox as well.

[chuggie]

Will do on the MusicMatch, it's a old version anyway. I don't see Sonic installed anywhere (Add/Remove Programs; Start, Program Files; C:\Program FIles). What's the best way to get rid of that particular filter?
