A check of the Hardware manager shows that the device is suppose to be working fine. With the old drive, it would sometimes respond after a while but unfortunately I did not check the Event log at that time.ģ. I did not have the patience to wait many hours to see if it would finally respond. After rebooting to W7, I put the motherboard disk into the DVD, and it never responded. At this point, the install looked like it had stopped but I left it alone for some 5-6 hours and it finally completed.Ģ. When I installed W7, I did so from XP and it was doing fine until the first reboot and W7 took over.

I also have an LG DVD and windows 7 can 'see' it but cannot handle it.
