I'm having problems getting started. Before I even knew about ImgBurn, I tried to install Nero 7 Essentials, the software that was included with my Lite-On LH-20A1H. The install was unsuccessful, failing to find certain files, and terminated. Then I went looking for something better, and found ImgBurn. ImgBurn doesn't acknowledge my Lite-On DVD drive; it can see my other two CD drives (both SCSI devices), but not the DVD drive (installed as Master on IDE channel 2). I suspect this is related to the Nero install (I've since uninstalled it, but the problem persists). I tried ImgBurn on a different Windows partition, and it acknowledges the DVD drive.
Oh, this is Windows 98, by the way.
When I try to upgrade the Lite-On bios, the flash utility tries to access the CD drive, then finally realizes it's the wrong device, and gives up. I can see the DVD drive in Explorer, and can even explore the contents of a DVD loaded into it, but for some reason, programs such as ImgBurn and the firmware flash utility cannot find the DVD drive.
