I recently flashed the firmware with the latest update from the NEC site. I now seem to have a non working drive. The flash seemed to work and no errors reported. Upon reboot I am now presented with 2 drives in Device manager. 1( The NEC dvdrw 2( A SCSI dvd/cd rom drive. Doesn't matter if i disable either, both, or completely uninstall them and reinstall on boot. When I do this both drives come back.
No programs such as Nero can seem to find the correct drive and it then freezes the whole PC. I do know that the drive isn't dead completely as when I put my XP cd in and boot from that it wants to start installing windows. The drive also ejects and there are no lights flashing.
Sorry for the drivvle but can anyone reccomend where I might be going wrong, I think it may be a Windows issue rather than hardware but anyone? Gen copy of XP sp2 with all updates.
Thanks
