I Recently upgraded from 98SE to XP Home. everything works fine, except the
Hitachi DVD-R ( 12X) ATAPI. It reads & plays audio & video CDs, but when i
insert a DVD, it stays blank. I have a P3 133Mhz Maxtor HDD ( ?).
I have tried:
1. Different codecs & decoders , WinDVD ( X pack ), Windows MP10 etc
2. Downloading different decoders for Hitachi GD2500
3. Altered the IDE from DMA to PIO and vice versa
Nothing has worked. I also have a hardware 'VIA bus master IDE' refusing to
get installed now as it cant find an entry. I have a feeling that what i
need is a hardware decoder for the drive, but Windows tells me its the best
available. Microsoft troubleshooting hasnt helped. I noticed that plenty of
people ( in forums ) have had similar problems, so there must be simpler
solution lurking around somewhere, can anyone help ? I am not an expert in
these things, what i know is from trial and lots of errors. Would appreciate
if someone can help me with this.......
Thanks !
