Greetings, i've had Vista ultimate 32-bit now for a few weeks and its been
going great. This last weekend I installed Daemon tools and ever since my
system has been freezing up completely, and I'm having to power off to get
the damn thing to do anything. Since this happened the first time my working
DVD drive vanished! and I was left with the virtual drive E: (my dvd drive
having been d: I thought it must be Daemon tools, so I there fore
uninstalled it as i thought it might be the virtual drive. But no! The
virtual drive E: vanished then leaving me with an unknown DVD drive F:?????
Now after swapping the around the dvd drive wiring inside the cpu, it has
once more returned! But I'm still left with this F: drive. I managed to
uninstall this useless drive and everything was fine, until later on the cpu
froze AGAIN! I powered off, re-booted and shock horror The f: drive is back!
along with my working D: DVD drive!
I am still getting random crashes and mainly freezing of my system. Can
anybody shed any light? I'm pretty sure its the DVD drive and Daemon Tools
causing it (Even though its uninstalled). I did also notice when I was
searching for hardware changes when I lost the DVD drive the first time,that
it froze the system up as well. This other drive f: appears as LITE-ON then
a load of numbers & letters and it says its a cdrom drive.
My system is as follows:
Processor: intel core duo E6600
Motherboard: nforce 680i sli
Memory: 2GB corsair twinX XMS2
Graphics card: 768mb Gainward 8800GTX
Hard Drive: 250 Gb Western Digital WD2500KS Caviar SE16, SATA300, 7200 rpm,
16MB Cache, 8.9 ms
1.44Mb Sony Black Floppy Disk Drive OEM
Bog standard DVD drive (make escapes me! but nothing fancy)
LN18713 - DVD writer - £20.20(x2 because its so much better having 2)
Windows vista ultimate 32-bit
Thank you
