my: hl dt st dvdram gsa t50n ata device doesnt work since i put windows 7 pro on my laptop. It shows up and sometimes works fine but most discs i put in, either DVD or CD will cause errors, crashes, and lack of control of my disc drive. what I mean is once it gives me the error or w/e, the eject button doesnt work and the disc in the drive is spinning at max RPM. If I go to my computer and click (left or right) on the disc drive windows explorer crashes. my driver disc only works for Vista so the driver installed on it is the stupid one signed by microsoft. how do i fix? thanks
EDIT: Okay, I have the right driver installed but that did not fix it. It still spins at max RPM, and freezes windows explorer. Also when I try to shut down it gets stuck at the logging off screen. Any thoughts?
EDIT from down the road: Hey guys, it's been a while but I STILL have this problem, but it's changed a little bit... It now does NOT crash Windows Explorer. The disc drive still spins uncontrollably with a disc in it. The link given in one of the answers does nothing for me because it directs me to use Windows 7's Hardware thing, which finds no problems. I think this is because once this problem starts occurring, the disc drive gets removed from the Device Manager and the system ignores it. If I force-eject the disc from the drive and reboot the computer, the Hardware thing finds no problems with the drive... What now?!
