Hi

I purchased Sony DW-U10A (OEM model) drive, plugged it in alonsdie DVD ROM drive and everything worked fine day 1, I was a very happy man.

However, the fateful day arrived when I needed to do a hard disk rebuild. Formatted & reinstalled XP Pro + SP1, Nero 5.5.10.28, PowerDVD & 2417 Patch.

Drive stubbornly refused to work tehreafter. It will dir contents and can open text files, but will not play DVD, run executables or burn correctly.

Trawled through these message boards and tried most the suggestions, including firmware fllash to 500A 2.0f.

Still no luck - persistent problems, and I'm now tering my hair out.

IF any furu out there can assists I would MASSIVELY appreaiate it. Full diagnostics of my machine (used Nero InfoTool) are below.

Many thanks,
Gareth.
