Hi, been away for a couple of days.

Go to Settings>control panel>System>Device Manager> find your cd/dvd drives and right click and uninstall the drivers. Reboot the machine.

If that does not work. Post your drive model and firmware versions.

Cheers.

Look for Flashmans Firmware Detect Firmware Version Tool.
Also has Nero InfoTool, which will tell you the firmware version and has more to say about your drives.

Then,

http://www.cdrinfo.com/Sections/Firmware/SingleModel.aspx?DriveId=745
has firmware (latest August 2004

 

Here is the page where you can identify the latest firmware for your burner. Pay attention to the appropriate computer.

I think this is all the info needed...

 

Looks to me like you are current on firmware version.

 

>_< damn it
Any idea what could be the problem? I dont think it is harware as it can stil read disks, just not blank dvds and cds

 

What software program are you using? What movie are you trying to do? What is the error that you are getting - word for word exactly?

 

Well I use NERO 7 but thats not the problem (im not rearly a n00b shudnt have posted here) Imnot actualy rying to copy something, i mean wenever i even try to ACEESS disk this happens


When i try to burn something it come up with an error

 

sorry wrong pic

 

See if this helps
Open 'My computer',
click on the drive,
click properties
click on the recording tab

then,

"Enable CD Recording On This Drive"

 

err cant find that, i get to properties then im lost

 

When you open up the drives properties (drive D ?), there should be a row of tabs at the top, labelled:
General-Autoplay-etc,etc-Recording
Click on the 'Recording' tab then click on 'enable cd recording on this drive'
