shanenin Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 A few das ago I noticed something was wrong with my dvd drive. Photoshop Elements would not install, it was freezing up early in the install process. Later I noticed dvds would not rip anymore. I tried swapping the drive out, that did not solve the problem. To rule out the second ide channel as being the blame, I reinstalled my ide controllers. I also tried to use a usb dvd drive, I still had the same problems. I noticed that my drive works great in safe mode. That would lead me to assume a driver or service that gets loaded in regular mode in causing a problem. I have no idea what driver or service could be causeing this problem. Since safe mode uses PIO instead of DMA, I also tried to run my drive in PIO mode durng a normal windows boot(non safe mode), that did not help.Any suggestions would be appreciated.
