Lite-On LTR48246S - Problems

[Splitfyre]

Good Evening Everyone,

Just wanted to find out if anyone else has been having issues with the Lite-On LTR48246S (48x24x48) drive? I picked up my new drive as of today and was going to go with the 52x but could care less about the difference between the two drives.

In either case I cannot seem to get the drive to recognize. Everything has been plugged in accordingly. I am running the following system setup:

AMD Athlon XP 2400+
2GB RAM
Windows XP Professional (Service Pack 1)
Lite-On 48x24x48
Creative PC-DVD 12X Drive (Slave)

I am replacing my old drive which was an HP 8100 drive. For some reason when it detects the new drive it shows up as this:

Anyone have any suggestions? The reason I ask is that I found Lite-On's support page (www.liteonit.com) to be very poor for support purposes. Please help!

have you tried just the lite-on on that ide chain? or on a different ide chain all together, and/or try it out in a different pc

also it might sound like a bios problem, it isn't recognizing it before it hits windows, so get the latest bios update for your mobo, and also what is your mobo

A7V266E mobo

well what bios version do you have?

Figured it out!

That is one funky drive indication! I had gone and modded my A7V board and didn't even realize that it wasn't recognizing in the BIOS. Completely forgot about it. I do high end software support all damn day so my mind was completely flawed! Oh well, now to honour my new drive...

OH EH Oh Eh OH!

so what was the setting in the bios? im also glad to help

Hey, if you want to you can upgrade your drive to the 52x24x52... find the firmware and flash it with mtkflash.
