Hi , just wondered if anyone else has this problem.

I have the NEC 3520AW DVD RW DL drive and for some reason it keeps having problems reading any kind of discs -
Its weird this only happens when im using vista or vista 64bit, as when i was dual booting before , it would work fine in XP but played up in vista.

I have just done a clean singleboot install of Vista 64Bit and I am having the same problems.

The drive will read my discs fine from a safemode command prompt start and will boot from disk on startup, but when loaded in to windows im lucky if i get one in every 50 discs to work.

I even tried flashing a new firmware into the drive but I am still having the same problems
did you install the vista version of your motherboard drivers ?

if you have and its still playing about contact nec and ask about a firmware update for the drive.
