Sorry to tell you,but with that drive,you will never be able to read dvds.......it's a plain cdwriter,you can only read and write cd-r/rw with this piece of hardware.....

I'm guessing it's 52327S, not 523275, as that doesn't tie up with Liteon's numbering...

A 52x Write, 32x ReWrite, 52x Read drive, but not a combo with DVD!

If it was sold to you as a CD-RW/DVD-ROM combo drive, complain, and if you paid a combo drive price, complain bitterly!


PS. It's hard to recommend a combo drive these days (if it was ever easy).
They aren't much cheaper than a better pair of seperates, and in fact, they aren't much cheaper than the bottom end of the DVD WRITER market.
