I currently running Windows Vista Ultimate, and bot of my DVD drives don't
work. One is a HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-H62N ATA Device, connected to the
motherboard via SATA, the other DVD Drive is a Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-109 ATA
Device connected to the motherboard via IDE. Can anyone help me out? Tried
finding drivers on the net with no luck. Any help would be greatly
appreciated. Thank you.

I had this same issue. I could not even get Vista to see the drive. My fix
however was either very lucky or Vista is, well I don't want to give you
haters any ammo. My fix was to reboot the system with a DVD in the drive. I
know, how could that make any difference. I don't know, all I know is before
I did that, Vista didn't even see the drive, let alone let me run something
from it. After rebooting with a DVD in the drive, works like a champ....
