    Since reformatting my Sager im having problems with my bluray drive: HL-DT-ST BDDVDRW CT21N. I found no drivers for it on the Sager site nor on the LG site, after some searching around ive come to the conclusion that there is no specific driver for it? You just use the drivers windows 7 installs (64bit) correct? When I look under device manager the drive is there and it says the drivers are up to date.

    The drive will not run any DVD or Bluray movies, it just keeps making a "reading" noise, windows media starts and displays loading however it just never starts and im usually forced to shut down the media player via task manager. It will however read and run software CDs.

    Any Ideas?

    Thank you for your time.
