Vista loses my Super Drives in my 2008 Mac Pro

Hi, I wonder if this problem has affected anyone in the past but I, for the life of me can not figure it out.

I have re-intstlled Vista Business 64 bit already and have had sucess with the computer recognizing them and I can access them but now I cant access them in the explorer windows or eject them at all.

I have tried to re-install boot camp, tried re-installing the disk drive drivers in control panel but nothing works.

Dose anyone know where the drivers can be downloaded from directly.

Thaks!

You need the Intel AHCI drivers for the ODD to be recognized in Windows. Download.

Hope this helps. 🙂

thanks for that, I'll download the drivers and try it out! Is the motherboard made my Intel?

It's a custom board for Apple, but since the Intel switch, Yup. 😀
