Pioneer DVD-115 won't read DVD's properly. Please Help!
This is a discussion about Pioneer DVD-115 won't read DVD's properly. Please Help! in the Windows Hardware category; I have Windows 2000 with Service Pack 1 (build 2195). I have a Pioneer DVD-115 DVD-ROM Drive. When i put a DVD in the drive, it won't let me explore more than 1 level of sub-folders from the root on the DVD disc.
I have Windows 2000 with Service Pack 1 (build 2195). I have a Pioneer DVD-115 DVD-ROM Drive. When i put a DVD in the drive, it won't let me explore more than 1 level of sub-folders from the root on the DVD disc. It displayes all the subfolders, but no files.
The rest of my conficuration is as follows:
AMD Athlon 500 (Slot A)
Microstar MS6167 Motherboard with AMD 750/751 chipset
Maxtor IDE UDMA 66 Hard Drive (Master, Primary Channel)
Richoh MP7080A CD-RW Drive (Master, Secondary Channel)
The Pioneer DVD-115 is the slave on the secondary channel
I have done the following (in no particular order):
Got the latest BUS Master drivers for the AMD chipset on the motherboard,
Got the ASPI32.dll for Windows 2000 version 4.60 (1021)
installed Adaptec's UDF Reader
I think the drive is being detected as a DVD drive because the est Region tab is listed on its properties under Device Manager.
Reading some of the other postings to do with DVD problems I saw someone mention about looking at the device under storage in computer management (Storage, Physical locations, right click and properties)- I tried adding DVD-ROM 1 sided on the media tab, and it said 'The medium is not compatible with the devicve or media pool'
Hope someone can help me. Any ideas/comments/questions welcome.

ok this will seem a bit extreme but i had the same problem with a PCF cd and the way i fixed it seems a bit strange. i had read a thing on sigma designs page about some dvd's not playing right and you had to disable UDFS (the CD filesystem) i tried it and it actually worked - and i could still read normal cd's - i also have a pioneer drive only mines is the DVD-105s (slot loader)
here you go
1. open regedit and goto HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\
2.find UDFS and rename to OLDUDFS
3. goto HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Services
4. rename UDFS to OLDUDFS
5. reboot then enjoy
