Dvd Won't Play
I installed a DVD 16X drive on a system running WIN XP PRO.
The device manager properties show "this device is working properly", but everytime I insert a DVD or even a CD and try to run it, I get the message "please insert a disk in drive". I tried removing the hardware from device manager and re-installing to no avail. I updated to a digitally signed driver with no luck. What's going on???
Thanks.

Yes. The BIOS setting are fine. It appears on the IDE field.
I'm taking it back to the retailer for an exchange. We'll see if the new one works>...

Thanks though...

The new one works. I guess you can't always assume that it is system related huh? The first drive was DOA!
