Vince,
Have you checked to see if the firmware update makes the drive work correctly?

Did you restart your machine after you updated the driver?

If you restart your machine and the drive still does not work you can rollback the driver and windows should read the correct drive again. The new driver may be causing this to happen.

Did you check the site to see if they have a driver for the 7190 model?

Jim

Madjim,
You missunderstood me, my burner has always been listed in my system as a Optiarc DVD RM AD 7190A. Now as I was downloading the site that Bryan and you emailed me. I started the installation and it stated that I can not install this firmware in a 7201 Optiarc. It is only for a Optiarc RW AD 7190A. I check again in my hardware device and sure enough it is now listed as an
Optiarc DVD RM AD 7201A.

Vince, I think Bryan missed when he set the link. This is the one for the AD-7190A

Jim this is not the driver so Windows can't roll it back. It is the firmware on the drive itself. The only way to straighten it out is to reload the correct firmware. Drivers and firmware are not the same animals.

10-4. I have never had to install anything when I installed my Optiarc drive. Thought maybe the firmeare installed a driver as well. Learn something every day.

Thanks Dale!
