DVD Writer will not burn
I built a new box, with Vista64. My DVD writer (LG Super Multi, Model
GH22NP20) will read DVD's, CD's, etc., but will not burn DVD's (using Vista app, not other software). My previous box had no problems performing burn tasks (Phillips DVD burner). Could the problem be the media I am using, i.e., it is 4x, LG burner lowest write speed is 6x., or could it possibly be a bad drive. Any help would be appreciated. |

What, exactly, do you mean by "will not burn DVD's..."? Does it attempt to burn and fail? Is the drive recognized by the built in burn applet? Is blank media recognized? Have you tried burning with third party software? Can you burn CD's? Also, if attempts to burn produce error messages, please quote them. These kinds of details will allow those who wish to help to provide batter targeted suggestions. |

Doesn't even attempt to burn; no Vista record dialogue box appears asking
for task to perform. Vista will only perform read functions. I do not have any third party software installed; Nero 7 Essentials came with the drive, but I am under the impression that software does not work with Vista64. My previous box performed burn tasks flawlessly with included Vista apps-I would rather use that than third party software that may be buggy. Anyways, I think the problem may be hardware related or chipset related. Another forum suggested to try Intel chipset driver updates. Additionally, no error messages appear, i.e., the drive is not being recognized as a writer drive. "PvdG42" wrote in message ... "Joseph Macari" wrote in message ... I built a new box, with Vista64.

Have you installed I-tunes?

no I-Tunes install.
Whats really weird is the following; Inserted a previous recordable DVD (with some various files), went into Explorer and copied a file off my HDD and pasted it to the recordable DVD..and the task was completed (drive DID write)....so I used an exact same blank disk and the new media won't work (Vista doesn't even give the option to format)...dialogue box comes up stating "Windows cannot read the disc..etc"...this is very weird...I keep thinking that it may be a bad drive..but as indicated before, previous working drive (Phillips) will not work. It seems to be some kind of hardware/BIOS glitch...was thinking of maybe looking for a firmware update; but the fact that a previous working DVD drive worked on another Vista box but not on this new one has me negating that procedure. I've been doing a lot of searching for answers...nothing similar to my situation. I may contact the motherboard manufacturer... "Justbob30" wrote in message ... Have you installed I-tunes?

Hi Joseph, humor me and install Imgburn and post a log from Discovery mode with a blank disc in your drive. 'The Official ImgBurn Website' (http://www.imgburn.com) -- locoeng |

I installed Nero 7 Essentials (even though I heard it was troublesome with
Vista 64)-the software disc came with the LG OEM DVD drive; the write functions now work my drive (though very picky on media) so all is well. It just threw me for a loop that my previous Vista64 machine burn engine worked so well with the Phillips drive that was in it, and I thought that the LG drive would be similar. Thanks anyways.
