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.

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.

Please provide failure details.
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.
