BIOS Updates forum

this is the original install of windows that came with this pc... it is my dads... i have the same computer with no problems,,, it is a compaq presario with a ASUS A8AE-LE motherboard

hey, i am using windows xp, and my dvd drive wont right to cds or dvds, for cds it says the drive is full and if i try to write to a dvd drive it says it cant


when i look at my device manager instead of ide/sta adpters it says unknown, is there any way to fix this without flashing the bios?
