Bob6831 Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Hi.I have a Sony VAIO desktop with Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-106D drive with 5.1.2535.0 driver.I can play DVDs and CDs and write to regular blank CDs, but cannot get it to recognize either blank DVDs or blank CD-RW disks.Note that my other Sony VAIO laptop has same problem.They are both running WinXP.Thx for any help.Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripken204 Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 what program are you using to burn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crck3rz Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Older versions of nero use to have a problem like this with this drive. Updating nero sorted it. Could try updating firmware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripken204 Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 well im guessing he's using the xp burning program... which is complete crap. nero would at least say something about the disk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob6831 Posted July 4, 2007 Author Share Posted July 4, 2007 Am using the CD Wizard? ...... but note that don't even have to get to this stage. When look at E Drive when have one of these 2 things (blank DVD or blank CD-RW) in, and click on Properties, does not show any info, while with regular CD or DVD in, properties gives me info.Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripken204 Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 (edited) what do you mean by it doesnt show any info? all it should show is the size of the disk.try out nero..http://www.softpedia.com/get/CD-DVD-Tools/...Nero-Lite.shtml Edited July 4, 2007 by ripken204 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob6831 Posted July 4, 2007 Author Share Posted July 4, 2007 It does not show any size info - in other words, just like a CD/DVD was not inserted!Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
