This is completely odd to me. I've never seen a brand new DVD drive not be recognized before. Here are the facts.
  1. Its a Dell Dimension 5150 w/ XP SP3.
  2. The DVD Drive is a LiteOn "iHAS 122".
  3. Sata is on in the BIOS.
  4. The drive shows up in the device manager but no matter what I do, I can't get drivers to work with it.
  5. The drivers in XP just won't work... Everything is for a CD drive and I've tried those but I get nothing.
  6. I've looked at the LiteOn site for drivers...
  7. It can boot from the new DVD drive so I know the drive works.
  8. I copied the drivers from my PC to the new box.
  9. I've upgraded from SP2 to SP3.
  10. I've tried ReImage.
I need to get this thing back to the owners today and I truly hate to have to tell them that I couldn't do somethings as simple as install a stupid DVD drive.
 
Tim - have you blown out the Upper / Lower filters in the registry and rebooted?

Works a lot of the time.

PS I've attached the reg file I use.
