Can't burn DVDs or CDs on Windows Vista
Hi, I have Home Premium 64-bits, installed one month ago and never tried this
until now. When I insert a blank DVD or CD, it doesn't show anything and then I got to My Computer and double click the DVD icon and I get the message that "Windows can not read the disk on drive D:\" or something like that. So I went to the manufacturer site and downloaded firmware, updated, rebooted and still having the same issue. However I can read used disks, and I can burn perfectly using third party burning software. What is going on? |

Can't burn DVDs or CDs on Windows Vista
I found the solution...
Apparently Windows Vista was labeling opr so my DVD burner as an SCSI unit? Well, I went under Storage controllers (or Controladoras de almacenamiento in Spanish), I uninstalled the one that said "controllers", not "Microsoft", rebooted, after restart, Vista installed something, then I recheck the hardware list and under DVD CD-Rom, under, listed as ATA device. Now it works just fine. |

Pues claro, "opr" eso fue un error ortográfico (quise decir 'or'), pero
bueno, lo que decÃ*a era que en el administrador de dispositivos o hardware, debajo de "Controladoras de almacenamiento", eliminé el controlador que terminaba en "controladoras", nola que terminaba en "microsoft" (es que no me recuerdo de que decÃ*a exactamente, luego reinicié. Iendo al grano, lo que pasaba era que Windows Vista programó mi simple unidad EIDE DVD CD Rom como una unidad SCSI. Luego de esto, mi unidad comenzó a funcionar normalmente. Ojalá el SP1 arregle este toyo. "Carlos" wrote: Guille: Me podés contar en nuestro idioma cómo lo solucionaste? No entiendo bien lo de "Vista was labeling opr".
