Did you connect your optical drives to the Intel SATA ports or to the Asmedia ones?

[martyn]

to the intel ports...... using a hd on the asmedia only

Have you tried logically unmounting each drive and remounting? I would force unmount through DISKPART and bring them back in.

Also, try restarting the Virtual Disk Service as it ties into the Disk Manager. Have you tried these drives in another system? I see they are both Samsung, have you looked possible firmware updates?

Why are there two threads the same?

Because i had little response where i originally posted it and thought i would open the thread up into a general forum rather than a rive specific one in the hopes of getting ideas. I thought perhaps it was some simple thing i was missing out doing when building my system, but i have another win 7 system i built that operates ok with samsung drives also.

I will explore diskpart and see what it does if i have it. Up to now i have only removed the drives in device manager and then reinstalled them with no joy.

Ah ok 🙂

On the other system do you have the Samsungs on the same SATA controllers? Can you test your Samsungs on the Intel SATA controllers.
