    I don't know what's the cause of this, because I have this Liteon SOHW 832S burner for almost a year now and never have any problem. And I'm still using the same media (Taiyo Yuen & Ridata) that I've always using.
    Anyway, jsut recently it wouldn't burn. First I tried w/Nero, and there's message saying the disc is illegal and wouldn't burn, I tried DVD Decrypter, it says "Device not Ready, Medium Not PResent". Again, I didn't give up and installed TMPGenc DVD Author, unfortunately another error "Device NOt Ready" and I tried to burn.
    I guess that the pc stop detecting this "internal" dvd drive or something? Please I really need suggestions. Thank you

    does the motherboard sees the drive? does windows sees the drive? any exclamation marks in device manager & any error messages?

    ddp,
    No, there's not any exclamation marks in device manager or any error messages. I don't know how to check to see if the motherboard sees the drive though.
    I updated my windows not so long, probably this is the caused of windows updating?

    Is your drive listed on the DVD/CD-ROM Drives tree in Device Manager?

    This happened to me with my Liteon burner after 13 months, i tried everything to make it work , but to no avail, i dumped it and bought an Lg burner and have been happy since.

    Haza,
    Yes, it's listed in the Device Manager.

    Riley,
    I guess it's also time for me to buy a new burner.
