THEN I read only PowerDVD 6.5 could play the files using this setup. FINALLY figured out to get the drive to show the "TRANSFORMERS" HD disc in there, you have to insert the disc AFTER windows is booted (or eject, then put back in). Spent about *2 hours* rebooting, trying to re-install the Blueprint driver, etc, etc. Saying drive not support or something, I can't remember now. Can't even CD into the drive to get a file listing.


So I uninstalled my drive, rebooted again - nothing. Then I read someone got it working just using the drivers XP would put on the drive. Downloaded/installed WinDVD 8 - same thing. EVO files using PowerDVD 7.3 Ultra - just black screens, no sound. It would display the HD disc name in my drive listings (disc I'm testing this setup with is Transformers HDDVD), and would let me copy over files, which I did, do my HD. I read on another site: plug it in, right click the "XP Blueprint" driver file, reboot, and there you go. WOW this isn't as easy as I thought it would be.
