BSOD when playing DVD's – why? [bsod] [quot]
Q: I have a Delta 12x DVD-ROM that works (in my old system!) 0.
I just rebuilt my system (see bottom of page) and have found that, although my DVD-ROM works great for access to CDs or installing programs on a regular CD produces a BSOD when I was a movie on DVD put into the device and attempt to play it: (
There is nothing wrong with the current DVD drive and it worked perfectly every time in my Andara “Meatybones” system.
What causes DVD player to produce BSODs?
I am having the same Leadtek WinDVD 2000 software that I originally used my Meatybones system.
The only thing I can think that I might have changed is that perhaps The DVD is now a “slave” drive as opposed to a master disc in the original system. Is this crucial to the “DVD” operation?

Re:Well guess what! Happy as I was to see the DVD working again – although my Liteon (Buslink) 16×10x40 is detected in the BIOS and diplayed in the boot up screen and actually accessess the CD roms that I put in there – it will not read or do anything now that i have set it to Slave
Currently I have the following set up:
IDE 0 Maxtor 40GB 7200rpm (MASTER) WD 60GB 5400rpm (SLAVE)
IDE 1 Delta DVD (MASTER) Buslink CDR (SLAVE)
Any ideas – I never have any problems normally

Re:Yes that's that problem rectified – set the the DVD to master and CDRW to slave and all is well.
I'd still like to understand why setting a DVD player to slave causes a BSOD when accessing DVD files as opposed to using it normally with CDROM files :confused:

Re:I'm not sure why everybody complains about the Delta DVD ROMS – I guess if you get the problem that I am having then yes the feeling will be prety negative.
Truth is that I know it works perfectly in my other system so there is nothing wrong with the actual drive itself.
I agree that it is not good that this situation occurs in the first place – maybe my opnion will change if I cannot get past the BSOD – just about to test it out in the next 30 mins or so

Re:I have a Delta 12x DVD drive… man, I hate that sucker. I don't know if it was the software (PowerDVD 3.0) or the drive, but too frequently the computer would freeze when playing DVD movies, or BSOD. Either way, it drove me nuts enough to where I bought a standalone DVD player, haven't had a problem since.

It's just really a question of why accessing "DVD" data vs "CD" data makes any difference that I'm puzzled.
Surely the data transfer rate is not affected by the master/slave setting?
I will need to change my CDR to slave from master also as it is on the same IDE cable.
