New to this whole stuff, but I am being frustrated by my system thinking it is a CD drive when I put in a DVD-R blank disk. Message also comes back asking for a blank disk and all programs cease to copy to it. If I put in a DVD-RW, the whole world is happy. I can burn to the disk. If I place a DVD-RAM in the drive, I can burn data files to it but no movie files. Help is greatly appreciated.
When I look at "My Computer" screen, it shows it as a CD Drive when I place a blank DVD-R or DVD-RW.If I place a DVD-RAM it shows itself as a DVD-RAM drive. I have used Alcohol 120% - no success DVD-Decrypter, says it needs a disk in the drive, already there. Windows Media program says the same thing, no disk in drive.
That 512U doesn't register on DVDRHelp Is it this instead perhaps ? Panasonic LF-D521 http://www.dvdrhelp.com/dvdwriters.php?DVDnameid=60&Search=Search&list=0
