Optical drive problem

The problem I'm having is whenever Vista hibernates the CD-ROM drive will not work anymore, and is then detected as a HD DVD-ROM drive and two other CD-ROM drives appear in My Computer.

The drive is a Sony NEC Optiarc 20X DVD+-R DVD burner IDE Model AD-7190A.

When looking through Device Manager it says I have the latest driver for it.

Re: Optical drive problem

Can you update the firmware on the drives? It sounds more like a firmware issue than drivers.
