DVD-R and RW Undetected

Expand Post »
Hi, whenever I put a blank DVD-R or RW disk into my drive, Windows will say it's not there. The cursor turns into a little CD, but whenever I try to burn an ISO image or any type of file onto it, it says that it's not in. I looked on microsoft.com, and it said to get a hotfix for udfs.sys. Would this help me?

I am using:

Operating System:
Windows XP Professional SP2

DVD/CD-ROM Drive:
AOPEN COM5232/AAH PRO

Re: DVD-R and RW Undetected

What burner software are you using? Windows can't do it by itself.

.i just installed and ran that program its my opinion that it doesn't burn images to dvd's just cd.as it say the dvd is not usable ,but the blank cd is usable .
do you get this far,in the recorder section its says weather the dis is usable or not .

Re: DVD-R and RW Undetected

No, windows explorer and every other program I use, including ISO Recorder, says that there's no disk in. Which program should I use? I have MagicISO. I can't get nero because I have dial-up, so that would take forever. I checked my drive firmware. It's completely up to date. Also, another detail I left out: whenever I put the disk in, Windows slows down a lot.

Re: DVD-R and RW Undetected

I have tried to do it on 2 other computers. It still won't work, so I don't think it's the burner.

as i said before i do believe its not a dvd burning program .or it doesn't like our brand of dvd disks we are using ,
you could try isbuster software .

Re: DVD-R and RW Undetected

IsoBuster didn't work. It just said "No media present". I updated my IDE ATA/ATAPI Controller: SiS 5513 IDE UDMA Controller. That didn't work. My AOPEN COM5232/AAH PRO firmware is up to date (R.1.08). I have no idea what to do.........
