I just installed a new DVD writer (Samsung TS-H552U) and the problem I'm having is I can't figure out how to write files with it. I used Nero to write a DVD game and that worked, but now I just want to save some files with it and there is no way for me to "send" the files to this drive to be written. I also can't even open it. It acts like a floppy drive telling me to "please insert a disk", or if I have a blank DVD-R disk in it already, I can't open the freaking thing! It says "error E:/is not accessable. Incorrect Function." !??? Wus the deal with this? Either way I can't access the drive, can't open it. It plays DVD's fine, though. please help, at wits end frank thanks
@Frank what other DVD CD writing programs have u got loaded in ur tray?? I know this mayb irelevant but have u activated ur hardware in bios?? mayb theres somethin wrong with drivers try refresh let me know
I tried updating the firmware on my new DVD writer. I found an update, installed it, rebooted and no difference. Then I decided to look for a firmware update for my CD writer too, since I was doing these updates. When I installed the update on the CD writer and rebooted, I was then unable to access the CD writer, but I could now access the DVD writer. However, when I tried to copy a file to the DVD writer, windows tells me it's encountering a problem copying the file to the drive. It's not working. So now, I'm able to access the dvd writer. I'm able to right-click on it and select "open" and it opens, without the error message, which I was getting before the updates, but am now getting that message on the CD-writer instead. I can open the CD- writer if I have a non-blank disc in the drive. If it's blank or the drive is empty, I can't open it. So I can no longer copy files there and write them, and cannot copy files to the DVD drive either, even though I can open it. So my CD drive tells me "D:/ is not accessable incorrect function" if I try and double-click on it with a blank cd in the tray; or when there is no cd in the tray, it tells me "please insert disc" if I double-click on it. If the disc has something on it, then it opens when I double-click on it. My DVD drive was acting like this until I updated the firmware for both drives. Now it behaves normally, except I cannot copy files to it. So the problem switched drives, except for the copy function which I lost altogether. I have several writing programs I've always used. I have Nero, alcohol, ISO programs, VCD Easy...etc. I havn't tried activating either in BIOS. Both say they are "working properly" in their respective properties windows. tried refresh. same deal, thanks, frank

You should have posted this in the correct forum. We have a section for burners. This section is for ROMs only.
Sorry. I missed that. I was really tired. So should I now go ask in the correct forum, or do I need a moderator to move the post for me? I
