I managed to match the controller. Turns out it is a JMicron. I found the the right file in the RAR folder. (I matched the Device Class GUID to the one already installed) Deleted the Controllers and restarted...and it auto installed! Didn't need to use what I got. I ran a few tests, it ran alright for about 40 minutes, then died. Another 30 minutes of trying to fix it (Including the Drive not even working ), I installed the JMicron over the Preconfigured one. Drives have changed letters and everything seems OK. Will monitor it. Just a big thank you to everyone that help (Especially you Lightning)

Sorry for not posting sooner, but been looking for the controller. It looks like I don't have a jmicron controller (I ran setup on 1 of the drivers and it said No Jmicron JMB36x SCSI adapter found) If I've read right, It's a microsoft controller (mshdc.inf) Thank you to the people that helped me.

Ok Lightning, Thanks for your help. Will try it now and report back. Just checking: Its the Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE controller i'm deleting? Sorry for being thick.

Is this what you was after Lightning? I don't know if this helps, but the second ATA Channel 0 and the 2nd ATA channel 1 are both disc drives.

Okay, thanks for your help dontasciime. Will post if i'm successful. One question though: How do I check the drivers and reset the DMA? ( I know my way around a computer but not super-techie minded )

I believe they are set to IDE. (Can't be sure, I'll ask the bloke at the computer shop ) It can't be the actual drive. (I've had the problem before, and he changed the drives to Optiarc). He did say when I took it in once that PCouffin can affect the drives (It has since been removed).

Hi there, I'm hoping someone can help or i'm going to go mad! I have 2 Sony NEC Optiarc DVD burners. The top one works fine but the bottom one is very tempermental. It has locked up during burning and even playing discs can stop suddenly. I do realise that this isn't IMGburns fault, but it's the only thing that gives me an error to work on.
