I have tried getting the Creative DVD6630E and Dxr3 decoder card working on
two different computers (Win98SE), with the same result: the drive works
normally in every
respect EXCEPT it will not recognize a DVD disk! It acts as if I opened and
closed the drawer without putting in a disk, except the yellow light stays
on a little longer. The software says there is no disk. Explorer says there
is no disk.

One mystery which might be a clue is that the Creative DVD6630E is
identified under system\device manager as a Matshita CD-ROM CR-589! Disc
Detector says the same thing. Yet, another Creative CD-rom drive I have in
the computer is identified properly.

This DVD drive is second hand, and someone else had given up on it. Could it
have the wrong firmware installed? How do I check the firmware? I'm new at
DVD's, this is the first one I have tried to install.

Can anyone please shed some light on this? I am pulling my hair out, and
it's almost gone! Help!
