    This just happened this morning. It's worked fine the past few days but now will only regonize blank cd's, and movies. Is there something I can do to fix this? Best Buy said it could be because of some adware cookies on my computer. If this is the case can anyone suggest a good adware program that will remove these?

    Didn't work, but thanks for the info. Anyone else know what I can try? Is it easy to uninstall and reinstall the DVD drive?

    This could relate to the brand of DVDs you are using, what are they?

    The DVD's are Memorex and so is the burner.

    Unfortunately memorex media is possibly the worst brand you can buy, they are made by CMC Mag and its the inconsistency in production that causes so many failures. Although you have a memorex burner it doesnt improve things. I would suggest you try Verbatim, Taiyo Yuden or Sony that are made in japan.

    You could also just go through your spindle of memorex til you find one that works.

    Heres a little light reading about memorex and CMC Mag media.
