DVDRW wont read disc after failed burn
Hello,
I was burning a DVD+RW using Roxio that came with my HP. For some reason, the burn process failed or timed out. I hit the Cancel option in Roxio but it took foreever to stop (more than 10 mins) so I forced Vista to reboot. After reboot, I could not eject the disc in the drive and the DVD Drive did not appear in Device Manager, only my secondary DVD Drive was there. I uninstalled it via Device Manager and rebooted. At reboot, Vista recognized both drive and installed them. Device Manager show the 2 drives working properly. However, since then, my DVD Burner (HL-DT-ST DVDRRW GSA-H30L) does not read any kind of disc (DVD, CDs...) and I do not hear it "spool" up when I put a disc in. I have tried the following: -Uninstall the drive via Device Managerscan for hardwa Vista recognizes the drive and installs it properly but problem persists. -Performed a system restore to a known good configuration. Didn't work, problem persists. -Uninstalled Roxio: didnt work, problem persists -Re installed the LightScribe drive, same result The drive appears in BIOS and in Device Manager. I read somewhere here about modifying and deleting some settings in the registry but I have never touched or modified the registry before so I am not comforable doing that (btw I dont have a lower filter, just an upper one, whatever that means). I am short of having to restore my computer to factory settings, which would be a huge annoyance. Does anyone have a clue that could help me? Many thanks, |

If the drive doesn't spin up it is likely bad, contact HP tech support for a
replacement. -- ---- Crosspost, do not multipost http://www.blakjak.demon.co.uk/mul_crss.htm How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 How to Post http://www.dts-l.org/goodpost.htm http://www.db-pc.com "requin" wrote in message ...

You're not alone, my gatewat GM5407E is having the same problem, so its I'm
sure its a MS Vista problem. Gateways tech is in the dark also. All they know is use system restore. Spent 3 hrs on a longdistance charge phone call with them. They said to take it to a repair station like bestbuy and have then try to fix the problem!!! think we will have to wait untill MS comes up with the fix.
