How soon to expect Windows 7 drivers? -

Right well I upgraded to Windows 7 Beta the other day but I think their is a problem with it reading the vista drives. It only reads my cd/dvd drive as a cd drive which is causing a huge problem for me. I have tryed updating my drivers but that did not work. How long do you think it will take Optiarc to release a set of windows 7 compatible drivers and do you know any way besides going back to vista to get my dvd drive to register?

first of all your cd/dvd drive could be faulty not reading the disk so test that first, as you said you had been having problems before with it,, next if you have installed win 7 I hope you read all the instructions and did a back up of your computer system if you didn t you could be in trouble reinstalling your old system, the installed hardware driver with windows 7 should be good enough to boot your system as when it is installing it goes on the net and does a systems update downloading new drivers if they are not on the dvd disk at the time you made it..

Hard to tell. Beta means the OS is not ready for use and it is in test phase. Not to mention it just came out for public beta meaning the manufacturers are still working on the drivers. Dont get ahead of yourself.

There are already some drivers for Windows 7: http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/window... Hope it helps, Andre http://www.pbnet.ro
