I've got a Liteon 40125W CDRW Drive and I was burning a cd and it finished burning and Nero locked up and the light was permanently on the CDRW drive (It was orange, not red as when writing, and not green as in reading) and I couldn't open the drive, I left it 5 mins and it was still the same. So I Ctrl-Alt-Del and closed Nero which was 'Not Responding'. I then restarted my PC and the drive would now open, and the cd had burned succesfully. I tried to burn another disc and Nero said that there was no disc in the drive (I'm using Datasafe 80min 48x media) so I thought the disc might be faulty so I tried another, then another until I tried about 7 and none worked. Then I tried a Verbatim 4x CDRW and Nero said the same thing. So I then put in a data cd & an audio cd and it read both of those fine. I then reflashed the drive with the latest firmware WS09, then restarted my pc and the problem was still there. I decided to run 'Smartburn' to see if that saw the disc and every option said 'Unknown'. Now I'm stuck & don't know what to do next, has anyone got any ideas? Cheers
Have you tried going in Nero, under choose recorder, to see if it still recognizes the Lite-On burner? In Device Manager, does it show the burner as some sort of generic CD, or does it specify Liteon LTR 40125W (or whatever the specific model is?) Whether or not you see anything in Device Manager or Nero, a uninstall, reboot, then reinstall of Nero may get it working. You definitely need to reinstall if Device manager show it as "generic". When it was working, was it on the old firmware, or new firmware? If it was on the old, try reflashing back to the old.
im having that same prob now with my 32x lite on drive did u find a work around? mine isnt reading n e media at all it reads some music cds holla back
Yes mate I've fixed it now. I downloaded the latest version of Nero(5.5.10 I think) then installed that, shut my computer down, left it for a min then booted up. That seemed to fix the problem. If you have already got the latest version of your burning software, I would un-install it the re-install.
