I'm using Lite-On DVDRW SOHW-1633s, I can smoothly burn DVD-+R/W before. But in this week I found that it can only burn CD-R or CD-RW but not DVDR. I've tried different brands DVD+-R, but still doesn't work. Would this be my machine's problem or driver's problem? The problem is I heard a click sound when I tried to burn a DVD-R, (this click sound is not heard for CD-R) and then an error message pops up and said that I haven't insert any blank DVDR (but in fact I have!), and then the machine ejects my blank DVD-R out. This is the log file created by NeroBurn Express after the error: Windows XP 5.1 IA32 WinAspi: File 'Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=4.70 (0008), size=45056 bytes, created 17/7/2002 16:23:20 ahead WinASPI: File 'C:\Program Files\Ahead\nero\Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=2.0.1.59, size=160016 bytes, created 16/12/2003 20:18:06 Nero版本: 6.3.1.11 (Nero Express) 燒錄器： <LITE-ON DVDRW SOHW-1633S>版本: BS0H - HA 1 TA 1 - 6.3.1.11 界面卡驅動程式： <IdeChnDr> HA 1 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : via Inquiry data (1) -> ATAPI, detected: ATAPI Connected to MMC as unknown drive with class-nr : 11 Drive is autodetected - recorder class: DVD+R9 DL recorder CD-ROM: <LITEON DVD-ROM LTD163D >版本: GHR3 - HA 1 TA 0 - 6.3.1.11 界面卡驅動程式： <IdeChnDr> HA 1 === Scsi-Device-Map === DiskPeripheral : Maxtor 6Y160P0 IdeChnDr Port 0 ID 0 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : LITEON DVD-ROM LTD163D IdeChnDr Port 1 ID 0 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : LITE-ON DVDRW SOHW-1633S IdeChnDr Port 1 ID 1 DMA: Off === CDRom-Device-Map === LITEON DVD-ROM LTD163D E: CDRom0 LITE-ON DVDRW SOHW-1633S F: CDRom2 ======================= AutoRun : 1 Excluded drive IDs: CmdQueuing : 1 CmdNotification: 2 WriteBufferSize: 83886080 (0) Byte ShowDrvBufStat : 0 EraseSpeed : 0 BUFE : 0 Physical memory : 1015MB (1039856kB) Free physical memory: 685MB (702124kB) Memory in use : 32 % Uncached PFiles: 0x0 Use Static Write Speed Table: 0 Use Inquiry : 1 Global Bus Type: default (0) Check supported media : Disabled (0) 19.9.2005 ISO編製 9:32:05 #1 Text 0 File Isodoc.cpp, Line 6065 Iso document burn settings ------------------------------------------ Determine maximum speed : FALSE Simulate : FALSE Write : TRUE Finalize CD : FALSE Multisession : TRUE Multisession type: : Start multisession Burning mode : DAO Mode : 1 ISO Level : 1 (Max. of 11 = 8 + 3 char) Character set : ISO 9660 Joliet : TRUE Allow pathdepth more than 8 directories : TRUE Allow more than 255 characters in path : TRUE Write ISO9660 ;1 file extensions : TRUE 9:32:06 #2 Text 0 File Reader.cpp, Line 118 Reader running 9:32:06 #3 ISO9660GEN -11 File geniso.cpp, Line 3899 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 9:32:06 #4 Text 0 File Burncd.cpp, Line 3196 Turn on 光碟一次燒錄(DAO), using DVD media 9:32:09 #5 Phase 40 File dlgbrnst.cpp, Line 1836 使用者中止 9:32:09 #6 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 249 Write in overburning mode: FALSE 9:32:09 #7 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 2107 Recorder: LITE-ON DVDRW SOHW-1633S Medium not present 9:32:09 #8 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 410 >>> Protocol of DlgWaitCD activities: <<< ========================================= Insert the disc to write to.

Sometimes this may be caused by a slight alignment problem of the laser head. Try read an original dvd, or better still, a mini dvd several times, to see if the problem can be solved. Good luck!
