I have just upgraded my machine to an AMD64 with a nvidia3 250 chipset.
CDA 5.2 does not find any cdrw dvdrw on this system. It is a known bug from previous SF/ CDA releases.
Has anyone found a fix yet or is one in the pipeline?
If you installed the nVidia IDE driver, uninstall it thru Device Manager and use the stock Windows driver. I have heard that this helps with other software packages.
I had seen that before. I don't have a 64-bit system (yet....), but I still hear that the nVidia IDE driver seems to be a culprit with other software packages. It seems to be a problem on the nVidia systems using the 32-bit system. I thought I'd throw that out as a possible fix. Oh well...I use an nVidia system myself. The IDE driver gave me clicks of death on startup. Uninstalling them fixed that, although I never experienced the missing CD drive that others have.
installed windows drivers but still have no cd / dvd drives.
I guess thats the problem with new hardware technology, it pays to wait twelve months for the developers to sort the bugs.
Any more ideas? I have the latest firmware and nvidia drivers, its only CDA 5.2 and Sound Forge 8 not working, everthing else is fine.
The problem is not that Windows can't see the CD-ROMs, but only that Sony products, due nVidia IDE drivers and Sony products incompatibility, can't see the CD-ROMs.
