Roxio udf reader windows 10 drivers#
And yes, I had a variety of DVD drives from around 1997 onwards, and know that it can work in 98SE, but I'm not recalling if there's any "gotcha" to enabling it, or if this may just be a quirk of Creative's drivers under 9x (outside of 9x it shows up as a CD/DVD drive - like in Puppy Linux or AIDA or what-have-you). It was new circa 2000/2001, and has no problems with any other media, including reading nearly brand new pressed DVD-Video discs it seems to be a software thing more than a hardware thing as far as not reading data discs. I used a Toshiba SD-M1212 without any problems back then. DVDROMs were pretty prolific during Win98SE's lifetime. That drive is too old to be expected to read newer discs. I doubt there's any games from this era that rely on that (none that I have and can think of do, so I'm OK with CD only), but I have some backups and whatnot on DVD that it'd be nice to be able to directly use (and worst case I can just keep doing what I've been doing: transfer them to USB flash drive on another machine with a DVD drive and plug that into the Win98 box and get it that way). I do have the Creative drivers for the 12x drive installed, and like I said it plays DVD Video like its supposed to, it'd just be nice to be able to play ROM discs too.

? I know I've had DVD-ROM working with other drives over the years under 9x, but I honestly do not remember if it requires some sort of specialized driver/feature to be installed (similar to how USB flash drives require a mass storage driver or their own individual drivers). But if there's some silly thing I forgot to do to make DVD-ROM work, I'd like to know. Now, if that's just a limitation/quirk of this setup, I'm fine with that. I don't have any reason to believe anything is defective. It works perfectly well for reading CDs of all types that I've tried (admittedly I haven't tried anything exotic like CDi or Super Video CD, but data CDs are correctly read). Whenever I put such a disc in, it acts like there's no disc in the drive, and Windows itself only sees it as a 40x CD-ROM (correct speed per the specs in the manual) in Device Manager. However, according to the user's manual, it's also supposed to be able to read DVD data discs. The drive itself works fine, and the whole setup plays DVD Video just fine in Windows 98 (basically it does what the box says it does). I recently got the Creative DVD-Encore 12x package for my Win98 box, which included a 12x Creative DVD-ROM drive.
Alright, this isn't a high-priority issue, but I'm kind of curious about it so if anyone has a simple fix or explanation I'll take it, but if it never gets "solved" it won't harm the machine that I can tell:
