OK, this is one I have never come across before.
On intial startup of PC, everything functions fine, with my DVD drive registering as such, but as soon as I open the drawer and close it again, with or without a dvd disc in it, it changes to registering as a CD drive only, not DVD, and will not play dvds. If I leave the disc in the drive and restart the computer, the drive functions properly, and will play the dvd. But again, as soon as I open the drawer, the drive reverts to a cd drive only.
In the hardware manager, the drive always remains as being a DVD drive, but in My Computer it changes to registering as a CD Rom only when the drawer is opened.
It isnt the actual DVD drive, as I have tried 3 different ones, which do the same in my pc, but work properly in a spare pc.
Any clues.
