Default Hardware/OS BIG PROBLEM please help!!!

I've recently been trying to fix my pc, which has a harddrive that was used by another pc. Now I'm trying to format my harddrive and start fresh. But one day I encounter a problem with my Dvd burner, for which i need to burn windows vista home premuim on because i can't find the official one. My dvd burner is not recognizing any of my discs, and windows said it wasn't working or not installed. And i tried uninstalling and rebooting, so what i was told to do was get a new dvd burner and i did. Now the same problem still occurs, and another was revealed, after pluging in the new dvd burner and turning on the system. A window with Rundll as its title stated that nvmctray.dll was not found. I download that file and put it in my system32 folder. Hopefully that takescare of that, but what should i do about the DVD burner.



PHILIPS SPD2413P - ATA

1. Microsoft does not want users to be able to create a bootable copy of Vista.
To my knowledge, if you can't find your original copy, you will need to purchase a new copy of Vista.

2. As for your DVD burner, I suggest you install it in a computer that is up and running to see if it works as it should.

Good Luck...

I agree, or you could try a different ide cable, sometimes they stop working, if that doesn't solve your problem it is likely to be a motherboard or OS problem.

Update driver for DVD burner.
Uninstall it from device manager then reboot PC see if found new hardware will pick it up.
Are you trying to burn with XP?If yes what burning programm are you using?
