DVD Drive not recognized correctly by Vista

I recently upgraded to Vista RC1 from XP MCE on my laptop. My laptop's
internal CD/DVD-RW drive is a NEC 6500-A drive. However, since the upgrade,
Vista now identifies my DVD burner drive as a "__EDD-WN-50-ATA Device" and
it doesn't seem to read any DVDs, CDs, burned disks or anything. I tried
uninstalling it in the device manager and let Vista re-discover it; same
issue.

Anyone have any suggestions on how to tell Vista what my burner really is?

Thanks,

R-19

Hi,

It may be that the firmware on the drive is not fully Vista compatible, you
might check with the drive manufacturer for an update.
