Hello! This is Win7x86 I have purchased a new DVD drive, I see this [attached image] any idea how to let the Windows read the drive better than just a CD drive :undecided: by the way the Nero can read/write to this DVD drive, but Windows built-in burning feature is not working with it. :thinking: Thanks!

I found another person who had the same problem
Figured it out. It's because I was using Remote Desktop to access the PC. Apparently when you use RDC it disables burning. I can't figure out why they would make it work that way (or how to change it). After physically logging into the PC it worked fine. The strange thing is that in the beginning when I was having this problem, I wasn't RDC'd into the computer at the time. After it started working again, I was using RDC and that's when it seemed like the problem reappeared.
Thanks for the help in any case everyone.
Are you logging into the system by remote desktop by chance?

My Repair CD/DVD in the windows repair does this, but try it manually, reboot after you make the changes. This was for XP but the keys are then same in every version of Windows since then :wink:

Press the Windows logo key + R to open the Run dialog box.
Type regedit in the Run dialog box, then press Enter. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type the password, or click Allow
In the navigation pane, locate and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
In the right pane, click UpperFilters.
Note You may also see an UpperFilters.bak registry entry. You do not have to remove that entry. Click UpperFilters only. If you do not see the UpperFilters registry entry, you still might have to remove the LowerFilters registry entry. To do this, go to step 7.
On the Edit menu, click Delete.
When you are prompted to confirm the deletion, click Yes.
In the right pane, click LowerFilters.
Note If you do not see the LowerFilters registry entry, go to the next resolution.
On the Edit menu, click Delete.
When you are prompted to confirm the deletion, click Yes.
Exit Registry Editor.
Restart the computer.

OK. I am home now, I'll try that when I go work :wink:

I have tried many things but finally I figured out that the damn ShellHWDetection Service which I hate so much and disable it on the first startup after the Windows installation was the cause of that issue. So I have to decide to enable it to get the built-in burning feature or to keep it disabled and use any other third-party burning tools. I have opt to keep it disabled because I hate it, lol :cheesy:

That is a interesting find. I wouldn't have guessed that ShellHWDetection Service would have anything to do with the cd drive showing up as a burner lol

And an interesting find to me as well, because the ShellHWDetection Service the responsible for displaying some annoying messages such as when you insert a USB device, it shows to fix it or display the the auto-run options. I wanna tell Windows that "I do not care about fixing my usb drives and I do not want the auto-run shit. Just leave me alone." Regardless of that I have found Windows is not accurate when tell me that the usb thumb drive needs to be fixed, I have tried it and found no errors, so why that annoying stuff, goodness :omg:

Have you checked to see what a sfc /scannow reports with and without it enabled ?

What! I do not use that command, you want me to ruin my Windows' files, I do not want to restore any file to the original version, because I like what I change in the files, and I can change any file or replace any file by myself, just thanks, no thanks for SFC service.

Perhaps it's because you have been playing around with the files that you are getting the error messages that you are and it's time to put them back to the way Windows prefers ?
BTW - ImgBurn is as good a burner as any http://filehippo.com/download_imgburn

You know this service makes the Windows easy, a new discovery that "ShellHWDetection" is responsible to show the BitLocker Drive's in the Computer So w/o that svc, we have manually in the control panel or by cmd.
