DVD video not recognised - DVD Roms are?

[moan]

HI

I've got a bit of strange problem - I have looked in various places on the net and have not found a solution. Hopefully it'll be a simple solution and it's just me being a bit slow (this is my first experiance of Vista so I'm going to blame it on that if it is a simple solution).

Anyway nuff whaffling.

I have just installed Vista premium 64 bit on a home built brand new machine and the DVD drive works with audio CD's, CD-rom & DVD Roms, however when i Pop a DVD-video in the drive the drive spools up but then nothing.

I have tried media centre, media player and "My computer" but the disk isn't even seen.

I have read about decoder problems but as the disk isn't even seen in the drive I don't think it's that.

Oh the Drive is a Samsung SATA drive from my old machine and was working yesterday in the other PC.

Any ideas would be appreciated.


Thanks in advance

Try changing Sata lead to a differnt socket on the motherboard, and reinsert leads to drive.

Thanks for the quick response.

It was getting a bit late last night (small cases look great but are a pain to build) so didn't even think of the old "swap the cable options".

Will try as soon as i get home. Stuck at work at the mo. Hopefully will be able to slope off home soon.

Switched the drive to a different channel and everything works perfectly.

Should have thought of it myself really.

Thanks for the advice.
