Vista Won't Recognize Burn Function
I have a custom-built desktop with Vista Ultimate x64, and Vista won't
recognize the burn function of my optical drive. I have swapped two different internal optical drives, neither could burn discs natively in Vista: one was a generic DVD-R/CD-RW drive, and the other is a Liteon LH-20A1P 20X Dual Layer DVD±RW (installed currently). In the 'Computer' directory, the Liteon drive is listed as a 'DVD RW Drive'. In the Device Manager, the Liteon drive type is listed as: 'DVD/CD-ROM drives', and the device description is listed as: 'CD-ROM Drive'. It reads CD and DVD discs without issue, but Vista will not recognize a blank disc in the drive. In addition, the 'Burn' feature of Windows Media Player prompts me to 'Connect a Burner and restart the Player'. 3rd-Party burning software works without issue, but Vista will not natively recognize the burn function of these drives. Does anyone know how to enable the native burn function in Vista? |

Liteon blame Microsoft for no drivers, Microsoft say it's a Liteon problem, contact Liteon support. Vendor says drives are being returned as defective. I don't care who's to blame, just want to know how to fix it. Drive reads ok, can be selected as a source drive, but not as a burn drive, just not there as a destination in some burning programs, or just keeps saying insert disk in others, inserting a disk just gets the same message. Help. |

If you have serial hard drive(s) try kb930194. Search it first cauze there's
a 32 and 64 bit version. I have a 32 bit system/serial drives and this fixed my problem. jimrx4 "Bryan" wrote in message ...

Worked like a charm, thanks! I assume this hotfix will be included in SP1 for
those who are not as proactive about troubleshooting? "jimrx4" wrote: If you have serial hard drive(s) try kb930194. Search it first cauze there's a 32 and 64 bit version.
