My LG GSA H20N DVD-RAM drive has started acting up

after i upgraded its firmware from 1.01 to 1.02. It does not giv any problem in xp but when i boot in vista, it gets recognised as an unkown hardware found

. It says it was not able to get the drivers for this particular device. I don't understand the link between firmware and drivers

. Can sum1 help me?

Have You Checked This Prob With Old Firmware?
If Everything Is Right With It,
I Will Suggest That You Have To Stick To Old Firmware.

I had updated the firmware using the LG online update software. The most surprising thing about the firmware update was its description:
Supports Vista.

Why don`t u search 4 drivers(vista supporting) in lg site? it may help.

I have a BENQ DW1650. approx 13 months old. It gives a write error when starting a DVD, right at 0%. on nero it says write process failed. what could be the problem?

Try upgrading the firmware...

even my samsung DVD RW has started acting up after online firmware update
and since it was under warranry and all i asked the guys to replace it.

u can use different brand of CD/DVD and also clean ur Drives lens

@pushkaraj after selecting update driver option in device manager,choose the 'Browse my computer' option and then select the drive on which Vista is installed.

@assasin thanx man ur trick really worked.

no frimware and drivers ane not same . they can be compared to the BIOS and the OS of ur pc
