Hey Guys,
OK, here is my problem. It's really frustrating...and yes I am building new PC, but I need to get this one working as I will keep using it for other things.
I have a Dell Dimension 2400, it's about 5-6 yrs old. It came with a really cheap NEC DVD burner (ND-1100A) in it. It has ruined quite a few DVDs, but I didn't really mind that much.
Anyways, I haven't had the need to use the DVD burner in it for quite some time, so I can't say when this started, but here is my main problem. When I put in a perfectly good blank writable DVD+R into it, AutoPlay comes up and says it is a CD! When I go into My Computer, it says CD Drive. When I take the DVD out, My Computer then shows it as a DVD drive.
So I picked up a new LG GH22NP20 DVD burner, installed it as the master...I kept my old DVD burner hooked up as the slave. For one night, the new one did show up as a DVD burner even when I put a blank DVD in. I was able to burn a DVD. Not for long though. I am back to the same thing now. Both drives show up as CD drives whenever I put a blank DVD them. I have tried different brand name DVDs as well. Neither drive has any problem reading DVDs. Device Manager of course shows them both as DVD drives, and it give the correct information on them.
Suggestions?
Thanks!
