Hi I'm having trouble burning dvds and cd's on my Phillips DVD+-RW (DVD8701). when i insert a blank Memorex DVD+RW 4.7 GB 8X into my drive it says that the disk has 0 bytes total and 0 bytes free.when i insert a comp usa blank cd it says 702 mb total 702 mb available.which leads me to believe that the unabilitty to burn dvd's is due to a windows error and not a hardware(lens,firmware,etc.).I have found that this drive uses ASPI becuase when i deleted Intel 82801G the drive was uninstalled with it.I have also reset my ASPI DLLs which i found out were no installed, but this did not solve the problem.
ASPI.SYS,Version 4.71.2
WOWPOST.EXE,Version 4.6(1021)
WINAPSI.DLL,Version 4.6(1021)
WinAPSI.DLL,Version 4.71.2
Another wierd thing i noticed is that all my cd/dvd related drives were marked as cd drives(under their ofiicial name(i.e On top DVD Drive(E:\)under that Cd Drive))
Also Itunes gave me a message about the dvd/cd burning registries it uses were are missing, it siad this can be due to installing another cd/dvd burning program
