Hey there, I've been having problems with my HL-DT-ST DVD+-RW GWA4164B. First thing is first, here are some details. I have a Dell Dimension XPS 400 /9150 with ALL latest updates from dell. I have the latest driver for this device. I have all the latest BIOS and Firmwire and EVERYTHING. I'm Running XP Professional version 2002 SP3 32-Bit [Guatemala] There are no possible updates for me to install for it, unless i missed something. What the actual problem is, is that My drive can READ dvd's and cd's perfectly. the problem is i cant WRITE DVD's or CD's When i instert a blank cd or dvd nothing happens is just says please insert a disk. I AM USING NERO 7.11.10.0 And yes i have tried over 20+ different disks of different makes, none work and all same error. I just find out I can write only cd r\w discs Please help! Thanks, erwinpc@intelnet.net.gt
Try taking Nero off completely. Use the Nero Clean utility to completely remove it. Download Imgburn. It's free. If Imgburn won't write to the drive then there's a problem. With Nero you can't be sure.
