BD drive issue

[sleonard]

So I bought 2 LiteOn BD drives for my server and just finished installing them. The server already had a DVD drive. In My Computer all 3 show up but the drive but the BD drive letters were swapped (drive 2 was F: and drive 3 was E: ).

I opened disc management to swap the drive letters and only BD drive E: show up. BD drive F: is nowhere to be found. Device Manager shows only one ATAPI iHOS104.

On one reboot Device Manager had a yellow exclamation on iHOS104 with an error saying that it had already loaded one device already. The driver shows as being from Microsoft.

I have AnyDVD-HD installed and that should load a UDF driver but I don't see that anywhere.

Any ideas on getting it to properly recognize both BD drives?

Both the drives work with regular DVD's in XP and Sage. AnyDVD-HD can see and read BD discs but nothing else can. Isn't the UDF 2.5 driver that came with AnyDVD-HD available to the OS or Sage?

Neither the AnyDVD-HD nor PowerDVD 8 BD UDF drivers are not available to other apps including XP and Sage. I did find and install the Toshiba UDF driver and now XP and Sage can read BD discs from one of the two BD drives.

I still have the original issue where one of the two BD drives is not being recognized properly. It looks like an issue with the XP supplied optical disc driver not supporting more than one identical drive. Any help?

I think your only hope here is switching to a newer OS
