I have and LG GSA-E60N/L Super Multi Drive is USB 2.0 powered and writes to DVD±R discs at 20x speed. Also supports DVD-ROM (Single/Dual), DVD-RW, DVD-R, DVD+RW, DVD+R, DVD+R Double Layer, DVD-R Dual Layer, DVD-RAM, CD-Digital Audio & CD-Extra, CD-Plus, CD-ROM, CD-ROM XA-Ready, CD-I FMV, CD-TEXT, CD-Bridge, CD-R, CD-RW, Photo-CD (Single & Multi-Session), Video-CD, DVD-Video. My problem is when I use my Pinnacle video capture device or use DVDfab the burner woks just fine. It also plays DVD movies just fine. Before I put in a blank DVD the Icon shows that the drive is a DVD writer. When I put in a blank disc the icon changes to CD, When I put in a DVD and it can be + or – and I double click on the drive icon to open the disc I get a message the drive is not accessible. I am unable to save any file type to the DVD. Can someone help me. Thanks Mark
See if any of this applies to you: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;315350 Also try reinstalling/updating the drivers for your burner.
very new this drive cant find much on it re: firmware... need to try different dvdr types see which is seen what are your dvdrs that are not seen... dvdrw changing to cd isnt nothing to worry over... a blank dvdr you wont see anything (need something on it) you do have usb v2 not usb v1?
Went to LG web site. Can not find drivers. I have tried several types of DVD-R, DVD+RW, and DVD+-RW, There is an icon in my tray where you can check for firm ware updates i think. I will look at this again
Do you have Roxio Easy CD Creator /DVD Creator in your computer? As for the drivers, just uninstall it from Device Manager and then reboot your computer, Windows will reinstall it. Also disable "Autoplay" for your drive.
not sure on this, but... i think aswell as usb v2 needed usb drives need something extra loaded in from install disc? did you have one with your drive or was it OEM?
@Rotary I see waht you mean. Don't know about that, never used an USB drive. A little google about his issues shows that his problem is not that uncommon. Most of the time from what I gater is a conflict between different drivers/writing software?...once you insert a disc in the tray, the software takes over the drive and it becomes inaccessible...something like that.
That's why I was asking about those Roxio writing software( they are featured on M$ website as being problematic), and I thought disabling autorun for the drive would not hurt either.
