Ok to start off I have had this dvd writer for over a year now, I have been burning movies and games... something went wrong recently i had to redo my computer and I think i clcicked region 1 on my dvd settings and ever since i have done that i put blank media in and it says no media found.. or If i try and play a original store bought movie it doesnt recognize that as well. Does any one have a solution i am going bananas over here. It only reads music cds and so on . But worked fine before i redid my computer. if any one can help me please do ....

reflash the firmware or get new drivers from the site for it.

re jumper the drive... check which ide channel its on, if you just took it out of one computer and put it in another it will still be jumperd as a master and thats fine it should be, but if you have another drive in the other computer you must jumper it as a slave (the other drive not the 300n). Also what os is in the other computer... win xp or 98, if its 98 you may need to reinstall it or if its xp you should be able to just uninstall it and when you reboot the comptuer it should put it in for you.

ID suggest removing the drive entirely... uninstall it, remove the ide connection from the back and restart your computer, then shut down the computer and reconnect the ide cable again and this time when it finds the drive let windows xp install the drive itself, it should have the drivers it needs for it... see if that helps
