Need drivers for Optiarc BD ROM BC-5500A

[overmyhead]

Note Sony will not support me because I changed the OS from Home to Ultimate, my laptop is a VGN-FZ460E here is my info:

Name: Optiarc BD ROM BC-5500A ATA Device
Description: CD-ROM Drive
LastErrorCode:
Manufacturer: (Standard CD-ROM drives)
Media Type: DVD Writer

Driver is a generic MS:6.0.6001.18000 dated 6/21/2006

I tried to load the update listed on the sony WS but it chokes when installing. When I installed ultimate I did it as a upgrade so I still have WinDVD 08 and I download WinDVD Pro 2010 which was wishful thinking

Hope someone has an Idea I'd hate to think my ROM is a paperweight when it comes to watching BD's

Thanks in advance

I would suggest you uninstall the driver and reboot. Windows should reinstall the driver for you.
Click on Windows Update and see if it finds the driver for you?

Hello Overmyhead,

Did you try to flash the drive with new firmware or just install the driver? The special driver is not needed, the Windows generic one is fine.
