Plextor 712a I think I bought it in 2004.
I tried to install the firmware but it said it couldn’t find the drive. At one point I put another Ide hard drive in then removed it and stuck a CD burner in. Everything shows up fine in the device manager. Pretty weird because it plays my Battlefield 2 game and my installation disc’s but it won’t play any of the disc that I drag and dropped too using roxio drag to disc or just dragged to. I got 3 operating systems in this old pc and all 3 operating systems do this. And I don’t have any other pc’s hooked up. I think I’m going to take them to my friends. I remember once seeing an Input/output error pop up but it disappeared as quickly as it came.
I wonder if a new external DVD burner would solve the problem. Probably easier than formatting.
