    I'm not sure if this is the right thread it could be an advanced problem.... but ill try it here any ways.

    So about 5 months ago i was on here complaining that when i re flashed my dvd rom it froze half way threw and after that it was shot.

    well i later realized the problem didint need new firmware, no the problem seemed to be with somthing else... i just bought a new lg dvd burner and the same problem is occouring whcih casued me to re install my firmware. Now being that this is a bran drive and i just put it in im assumeing this is defently a software problem.

    When i instert a disk it tells me its a blank cd when its really an actual cd/ dvd with information on it, and when i insert a blank disk it dosent even detect it.

    now i re installed windows before when the other burner was acting up and that was usless, what else can i do?

    Could be the firmware needs to be updated,
    Or your media isnt bieng recognized.
    Update your firmware and drivers,
    And use name brand quality media (when burning.)

    What program(s) are you using to burn?

    The following list is in preference order. The best discs are near the top of the list. The discs at
    the bottom of the list are suitable only for a landfill.

    Almost flawless burns with 95-100% reliable results:
    PVC = Pioneer = (-R)(-RW)
    MXLRG01, MXLRG02 = Maxell = (-R) ... be aware of unbranded fakes
    MCC = Mitsubishi Chemicals = (-R)<-----------------VERBATIM MY CHOICE #1
    TDKG02 = TDK Corp = (-R) ... be aware of unbranded fakes
    TAIYOYUDEN or YUDEN = Taiyo Yuden = (-R)<--------------FUJIFILM (made in japan) MY CHOICE #2
