    I just bought a Centrios duw1616 dvd writer, when i put a burnt cd with music movies or games it will work fine, if i put a cd-rom it will work fine but when i put a blank dvd or a blank cd or a regular dvd in the light just stays on for a minute then flashes, in windows explorer it says there is no disc in the drive or when i try to burn it says there no disc,when i use nero infotool it says there is a blank disc in at least, anyone have any suggestions??

    here is your drive......... read some of the comments

    what type of media are you using..... put in NeroInfoTool and hit the DISK tab and find out what the manufacturers ID is. You might have a problem like this guy: http://www.videohelp.com/dvdwriters.php?DVDnameid=1381&Search=Search&list=2#comments

    It can play any type of media on a cd, like cd roms, programs, music cd's. ps2 games . on nero info tool if i put a blank dvd in it says theres a blank disc in, but on windows explorer or any other program says theres no disc, also cant burn music on to a blank cd in media player or any other program.
