dvd rom drive not recognizing blank disc
 

thats the whole problem now. it wasn't nero or anything its that it's only recognizing my dvd rom disc (movies, dvd-r) and not my cd-r's. Anyone know what the problem may be? "Incd" is installed and running (it wasn't before) and it's still not working.

plz help

format and die

Try updating the firmware of your drive. If that doesn't work, maybe uninstall it, and reinstall it?

Pour kool aid into it. That sometimes works.

check if ur blank disc is wearing a fake beard and shades, this may prevent
ur dvd rom drive from recognizing it....otherwise i'm fucked if i know.

Same thing happened to me awhile ago. Turned out the drive device took a shit.

I don't really think his drive took a shit. If it did, it wouldn't bother reading DVD's. But for some reason, it's not reading CD's.

i waited all damn day for this.... hake:

You waited all damn day for what? Also, if you have another PC around, maybe you can try removing the DVD drive from you current one, and install it in another PC to see if it works there.

slam your dick against the computer until it turns purple

What the fuck is with all these CD threads, you've made about 8 of them

...now, to clarify, what is supposed to turn purple, the dick or the computer..?

nope i dont...

can someone tell me how i would go about figuring out which dvd rom drive is installed on my pc? i know it's made by toshiba but it didnt come with any documentation or anything like that so im stuck digging through the device's properties and finding nothing. Is there another way so that i can update my firmware for the drive? The installed drivers are from 2001..

ever try to go into device manager from right clicking my computer and deleting that drive then re-install it

Good advice.

Also, try going to the website of the company who manufactured the drive and see if there are any firmware/driver updates there. You can also try contacting them with the problem, or just exchanging it for a replacement if it's under warrenty.

In 98% of the cases the phallus will turn purple before the computer.

did that last night.. no luck. oh btw, welcome to my thread..... NYCKER!!!

im not sure which dvd drive it is....

is there ANY way that i can find out? besides calling them...

My Computer>Right click>Property>Hardware>Device Manager>DVD/CD-Rom devices...from there it should tell you what kind of drive you have. It should, anyway.

not specific enough...let me try my system info...duh!
