Hello, I have had a sony dvd-rw for about an year all work perfecly except now I tried to burn a dvd and it said I cant. When I put a dvd inside I hear it spinning and spinning then stops (usally doesnt take that long)then when i go to my computer and check it says plz insert a disc. But it reads and writes cds. What is the problem. I also delete the program and installed it didnt work I also unscrew the dvd rw and intsalled it back and still doesnt work. I was using HP-DVD and nero and tryied other programs too but still I cant burn dvds.(only cds). Thanks.
try uninstalling the drive in device manager reboot and let windows reinstall it ,that may work other than that i would say the drive is shot, new ones run about 30 to 40 bucks tops
ypu can do that in device manager heres a guide to get to device mamager, left click the drive and uninstall http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/260038
Post the Nero history log for the last burn. It will Start like this: The end will look like this: They should be located here: Nero 6 Program Files>Ahead>Nero>NeroHistory.txt Nero 7 Program Files>Nero>Nero 7>Core>NeroHistory.txt Click on the IDE in the device manager and uninstall the driver. Restart the computer and it will reinstall itself.
