Recording tab not visible for DVD-RW drives
Hi,
The system has (2) x DVD-RW drives. Both of these drives do not have the recording tab visible under properties. (Vista Ultimate). Is there a registry fix or workaround for this? Thanks |

Recording tab not visible for DVD-RW drives
Hi,
The drive may require a firmware update in order to register correctly. Check with the drive manufacturer for the availability of one. If the drive was preinstalled by a system manufacturer, check with them for possible resolution. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "hardware_dev" wrote in message ...

Recording tab not visible for DVD-RW drives
Hi,
Are you able to record with it? Have you installed any 3rd party burning software? I ask that latter question as I do have one Vista system where there is no recording tab on the DVDRW unit that burns perfectly fine using a third party program. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "hardware_dev" wrote in message ...

Recording tab not visible for DVD-RW drives
Some details:
When the SATA & RAID drivers are installed, the native Windows DVD burning capability is disabled. ie: The recording tab found under the DVD drive properties disappears. When the SATA & RAID drivers are uninstalled the recording tab for the DVD-RW drives will reappear. Configuration (2) x IDE DVD-RW drives & (1) x SATA hard drive in IDE mode.
