I would remove the drive, and all software then re install both of them.

well all i do with the drive is plug it in, so il jus plug it in and out?
and i already redownloaded rawdump like twice

did u install new framework? and check yur jumpers on the back.... make sure its says slave or master depending how u installed it...

well what one is the new framework?
is it that microsoft stuff caus when i go to download 20 or 2.0 or whatever it says my previous version is not compatiable and stops the install. also a man instaled the drive
so what should i check for on the "jumpers" and how would i make it slave/master?

are you sure thats the caus of my wii game crashing each time i try to dump it

Don't do "slave/master" settings. Take drive out. You'll see three places for a jumper: SL/MA/CBS. CBS is cable select. that is the jumper setting you want ALL of your optical drives to have. the cable actually sets which is master and slave in the proper IRQ address on your pc.

Looking at your problem, it could be a voltage problem. Try a different power dongle or a new PSU to see if that helps.

thank you i dont quite understnd but my freind is into this and maybe if he reads it he can understn
