I have a liteon LTC4816H vk9h2 cd/rw drive and a Emprex IDE1008 v0057 dvd/rw drive. I have encountered a problem where both drives do not recognise any disks, cds, dvds, ps2 cds and dvds. i have checked the properties of both drives and the system tells me that both devices are working properly. These drives have worked fine in the past. If i try to burn in nero i just get the message insert blank disks. My dvd/rw drive wili open in explorer and show nothing whether there is a disk inserted or not and the cd rom wil ask for a disk to be inserted. boths drives spin up a disk when loaded and an hour glass appears for a few seconds and thats it. I have windows xp SP2 running of 512RAM i have nero, dvd decrypter, dvd shrink and any dvd. I have noticed that anydvd does read the disks because they css keys are recognised. Any help would be appreciated
I don't know if I can help you much,but I'll get the ball started. Go into device mangager and look for yellow exclamation marks. While you are still in device manager, look at your IDE-ata/atapi controllers for both primary and secondary.Open each up,click advanced settings tab and make sure they say DMA or DMA if available. Make sure they don't say PIO mode. Here's a few sites to check to see if you need a firmware update: http://www.americal.com/pg/dvd-burner-compat.html http://www.liteonamericas.com/us/download_combo.htm It will not recognize any discs. Are these backup discs/original discs/or both?
