Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

My systems in Win7-64. I replaced a CD reader drive with this LG unit. The swap-out was easy and the new drive worked perfectly the first time. When I installed the software that came with the CD it included an option to update the new drive's firmware. So I selected this and proceeded. The firmware update program attempted to install new drivers for both the LG drive and my existing DVD-R/W drive. But the driver update failed because the drivers were not signed and Win7 requires signed drivers. After that neither of my 2 optical drives worked. I had to do a System Restore to get them back. I subsequently found out that Win7 has a boot option that allows you to bypass the requirement for signed drivers. This is the link to the page describing the fix: [...] Just hit F8 when Windows is starting to get the boot option page. By selecting the boot option I was able to successfully install all the software with no troubles. Rebooting afterwards got me back to normal Win7 with both drives working OK. With this caveat I can recommend this drive for people wanting to create Blu-Ray disks. But it sure was a hassle finding the solution.
