Dvd drive doesnt read dvds?

[LADUDE2005]

My NEC-1100A DVD burner is not reading DVDs at all. Everytime I put a blank dvd into the drive it says that theres no media in the drive. Does anyone know what the problem may be?

I'm sort of in the same boat. My BenQ DW1625 won't recognize any blank DVD media, but it recognizes blank CDs and will play/run DVDs and CDs.

Try updating the firmware.

Have you tried another brand, I've seen some burners not liking some brands I had a lite-on like that, I think it didn't read Maxell but I'm not sure of the brand. anyhow try a different brand disk and see if it works, I have two burners in my system, One LG and a Pioneer just for that reason, if it won't work in one the other will.
