Vista - DVD Drive not recognized correctly by Vista

I recently upgraded to Vista RC1 from XP MCE on my laptop. My laptop's
internal CD/DVD-RW drive is a NEC 6500-A drive. However, since the upgrade,
Vista now identifies my DVD burner drive as a "__EDD-WN-50-ATA Device" and
it doesn't seem to read any DVDs, CDs, burned disks or anything. I tried
uninstalling it in the device manager and let Vista re-discover it; same
issue.

Anyone have any suggestions on how to tell Vista what my burner really is?

Thanks,

Hi,

It may be that the firmware on the drive is not fully Vista compatible, you
might check with the drive manufacturer for an update.
