DVD Writer not working??

[Hollow Dartz]

Anyway I can fix this? When I enter a blank dvd it doesnt read at all.....

[food for thought]

does it read normal dvds?

[Hollow Dartz]

yeah

[food for thought]

did u try using different brands of blank dvds?

or have u been trying the same one?

is it on your computer or a seperate device?

[Hollow Dartz]

Yeah I tried many Blank Dvd's. It read cd's/blank cds, dvd's but not blank dvds....

[food for thought]

is it a drive on your computer?

[Hollow Dartz]

Yeah.

[food for thought]

ok, this sounds like just some dumb error


i think u should uninstall and re-install your dvd drive


if u wana do this go to

Control panel> system> device manager

once u get there, find the dvd drive from the list

when u click it,

u can see if its functional. more than likely it is

its from here that u can re-install your drive.

u got to uninstall it first

and then restart your computer

it will automaticlly detect the "new hardware" and install it

i suggest u try this

[Hollow Dartz]

Shit still not working...

stupid question: what do you expect the drive to read from a blank dvd?

just go to burn... see if it burns anything. if not, buy a new one... they cost around £10 or less.

Dick head, when you enter a blank dvd the option pops up for it or it shows up when you click computer, anyways it spits it out everytime I try to write something on it...

yeah, but you can cancel that so it does nothing... which is what you might have done.. i said it was a stupid question. i wasnt trying to be a dick lol

just buy a new one, they cost pennies.

[Hollow Dartz]

You cant cancel it when you hit computer. and it shows the different drives and whats in your cd/dvd drive, it usually says black disc

[food for thought]

google the model/type and see it its a common problem

most of the time it is and if so then u should be able find solutions that someone posted.



if not, just buy a new dvd writer drive and repalce it



p.s: u should go to Device Manager and update the driver (if not updated). this might be the problem

[Hollow Dartz]

yeah i think I'mma buy a new drive.
