NEC dvd drive AD-5170A minus/plus problem

[ducky_daf]

hi

i got this new pc for a friend couple of days ago. i got the parts and assembled it myself and got it runnin' cool and clear. but when i tried to install an antivirus, it took all administrative privilages from me! so i installed a new version of win xp sp2 . this time this dvd-ram didn't recognize a minus dvd! which it did before the crash.

i have never ran into something like this all my life!

the drivers may not have installed properly or something like that, however i'm tired and someone else might have a better idea

p.s. bump

No, all drivers are properly installed. anyway, the drive is plug and play, it installs it's own driver.
