Hi,

So, I'm having problems with a LiteOn (Lite-On iHAS124-19) DVD drive. I have just newly built the computer everything boots up fine. I set the boot order to boot from DVD drive etc...

I pop in Windows 7, all is good. I choose language and then go to the next step. Windows searches for drivers and tells me this:

Conveniently the Lite-On website does not have the driver for me. I have found this website which appears to have the correct drivers, I put them onto a USB drive and Windows will still not detect it!

My other option is to use an IDE DVD drive to install Windows 7, then put the SATA one back in to see if I can fix it in Windows.

Any ideas atm?

Thanks.

Using the IDE one for install sounds like a win, tbh.

Awkward, but should sort it.

Is the SATA controller in AHCI or Native?

My state was founded by Batman. Your opinion is invalid.

I can't find that option in the bios anywhere. Hard disk is showing as IDE 0 Master, DVD drive showing IDE 1 Master.

Those aren't drivers, those are the firmware - Windows will never detect it.

If you burned the copy of Windows 7 onto a DVD, try re-burning it at a lower burn speed and try again.

Ahh, that's probably why!

I did get the disc copied from a friend. I shall have it redone, thanks!
