1. Let's try and HELP rather than hijack threads
2. Just because you like HL2 more doesnt mean the rest of us do.
i've just narrowed it down to my dvd copier
i plugged in an old cd-rom drive and it worked
i downloaded new firmware for dvd drive but still no luck
Damn nice job. Try an ASPI updaye to see if the DVD will work
ASPI,
Advanced SCSI Programming Interface, is the source of
enough problems with anything even remotely related to an optical drive. Note that Windows2000 and WindowsXP do
NOT come with ASPI installed and many users, just starting to do more than basic activities with their drives are encountering problems left and right. ASPI is one of the simplest things to check for -- it just takes one reboot. For more information regarding ASPI see
http://cd-rw.org/articles/archive/aspisetup.cfm .
IMPORTANT: when checking the version numbers,
all four the version numbers have to match identically otherwise the ASPI is not installed correctly/completely regardless of whatever the checker says (this is especially true for Nero's InfoTools which only checks for the presence of the files rather than matching version numbers).
