DVD no longer recognized

#1 (**permalink**) 03-03-2007

I installed Vista on my Macbook Pro. My Mat****a DVD worked for a week and
then stopped working. I tryed rolling back the driver, uninstalling the
drivers everything. And nothing. Still not recognized. Is there a driver
out there for Vista Home Premium that will cure this problem. Or is there
anything I can do. Windows still recognizes that I have the Hardware there.
Funny thing is when I boot up into Mac. The drivers work fine.

Please email me at javajohns@yahoo.com

thank you in advance

Cha-Ching! Hear that cash register ring! Ya gotta buy a new drive that's
Vista approved.

The real question here is why did you go from a perfectly good and working
Mac to even *thinking* of going to Vista? Vista is a money grubbing tool
designed to suck every dollar out of your wallet, first for the upgrade,
then for more memory to run it and finally for more hardware that will work
with Vista. Lots of hardware makers are *not* writing Vista drivers. Why? So
you have to go buy more hardware and drive their sales up.

Cha-Ching! Hear that cash register ring! See how it works?

Replace the cdrom.sys file - it's got corrupted.

What programs and devices did you install between the time it worked and the
time it didn't?

Great!!!!! That really bites. I have several thousand dollars in software
that I wasn't prepared to lose yet so I thought why not just buy Vista and
runa dual system.... I went Mac. because I am tired of making Bill Gates's
car payment (or one of them). Why would my DVD drive work for a week or so
and then just stop???

Thank you for your response.

It has to be something that changed in between when it worked and when it
didn't. Do you have any Roxio software installed? There was a Windows update
that caused some problems with the Sonic DLA driver that is part of Roxio.
There is a fix for that here.

Hello

I have not installed any Roxio equipment. I tried Windows restore and
nothing. A game was installed and it did run for about a day. I also tried
to reinstall the drivers for Window running on a Mac. (Boot Camp). And still
nothing. Any idea's.

Thanks

John

I don't have any personal experience running Vista on a Mac so all I can do
is guess. Are there any errors in the event logs that may be related? Look
closely at any errors on startup.
