My DVD writer is failing to recognise any blank CDs or DVDs After it was ejected while it was writing It can read any CD or DVD but won't burn giving an error message saying not insert writeable CD. How can I solve this problem? My machine is a compaq presario laptop.
Ouch...better question is what did you do that for? Did you try to uninstall your drive and reinstall? Had a problem similar, not for the same reason, and I just unistalled the drive from device manager, reboot, and let the PC do it's thing and reinstall. Worked for me.
I left the machine burning the my daughter opened the drive. I tried the device manager solution but it's not helping the situation. Is there any other idea?
My youngest decided to play bank with a CD player in our car one time. Yep, didn't work right after that. Check to see if there's a firmware upgrade for your burner. If not, try different media. And if that doesn't work, you may need to invest in a new burner. http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/215146
Thanks I will go And try the upgrade. One funny thing that's happening is that the drive reads dvd's only
