Help please! problems with Pioneer dvr-a06u

[itzarel]

Hi, I've recently installed a pioneer dvr-a06u on my dell demension 8100, I'm running windows 98se. It seems when I boot up I can play a dvd only once before the drive stops responding completely. the dvd plays great but as i said once I stop it the drive won't eject or recognise that there is a disk in it. I've upgraded the firmware to 1.07 and it doesnt work any better.
Any help would be apriciated
thanks
Itzarel

Hi itzarel, Welcome to our forum!

How did you connect your Pioneer? a DVDRW should always be the master at the secondary IDE canel, banded with a 40-wire ATAPI/IDE cable; install the lates busmaster driver and enable DMA for your burner;
also kill and reinstall the ASPI layer by using ForceASPI; see here: http://www.dvdrbase.com/showthread.php?t=32137

you wrote "DVD plays great" first; What about Data DVDs, are these recognized a second time?
