DVD/CD will play in WMP. Not recognized as burning drive.

<< < (2/3) > >>

ShellG:
yes, I downloaded the other burning program and it did not work either.  Toshiba also tried 2 other non windows burning programs.  One "burned" but the disk was not readable by anything.

Shane:
Is the drive able to read normal cds/dvds fine?

And just to confirm, you put the drive in another system and it burned fine?

ShellG:
Yes  it works in another laptop.  The drive reads and plays any prerecorded CD or DVD.  I can rip media into W media player.  I can watch dual layer disk DVDs.  I can play and rip disks I previously made myself.  Everything works fine except it will not burn.  The laptop recognizes the drive as a standard CD-DVD read drive and says it is working correctly and the drivers are up to date.

Shane:
Then it is something screwed up in Windows.

The easiest thing to do would be a repair install. This isnt a fresh install so you keep your programs and files.

First you need a Windows 7 cd with SP1 already on it. You can grab it here

Of course you want to do this on a machine that can burn a dvd lol

Then just follow this guide :wink:

Can I "burn" this onto a flash drive and run it from the flash drive?
