    • Question by shielarae, Friday 8th of August 2008 23:18
    I've been trying to get my Nec Nd3550A to read/recognize a 3" mini dvd from a Sony camcorder. My OS is XP Pro Sp2 and I only want to copy the contents onto a reg size dvd. Is this possible?

  • Nec Nd3500a cannot read a dvd on this drive
    • Question by WTCAMB, Sunday 22nd of June 2008 20:21
    I can read cd-r and write. I can also write to a dvd, but for some reason, I cannot read a dvd on this drive. It has been working fine in the past, but all of a sudden, it will function properly "except" reading any dvd.

    Any help would be appreciated.
    Answer by _chef_, Sunday 22nd of June 2008 21:02
    IF a burner can write a disc, it also can read one...

    Open up devicemanager, uninstall the ide drivers and then restart.
    Answer by WTCAMB, Sunday 22nd of June 2008 21:34
    Are you talking about the Primary IDE channel, the Secondary IDE channel ?
    Answer by _chef_, Sunday 22nd of June 2008 23:28
    Both of them.
    Answer by WTCAMB, Monday 23rd of June 2008 01:20
    I tried uninstalling them both. I rebooted and they came back as they should. but no DVD's willl read, only cd's. It doesn't make sense.

    Did you notice this after making any significant software changes?
    Answer by WTCAMB, Monday 23rd of June 2008 14:07
    Only that I have WIndows Automatic updates on my system.
    I am also updating on a regular basis, AnyDVD and recently Clone dvd2.
    Answer by WTCAMB, Monday 23rd of June 2008 14:09
    I don't have a virus because McAfee does a regular update and scan and has found nothing.
    I would buy a new drive, but it seems to me if it reads and writes cd-r and actually writes to a dvd using anydvd, it shouldn't be mechanical.
    Thanks for your help , too.

    Do you have any other computers available to check out if it is the drive or the computer? Also try a different IDE cable and a different power connector. When you say you cannot read a DVD, what are you using to read and are they pressed or burned discs?
