bizzybody Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Vista Ultimate SP1. When I turn off autoplay for the dvd burner, Windows claims all discs are "blank" until I use Nero Info Tool to check the disc. *Then* Vista will go ahead and read the disc.It will also fail to update the disc contents, showing the files and folders of the *previous* disc along with the contents of the current disc.If I turn autoplay back on, the problem goes away but I have to put up with the annoyance of autoplay and its interference with burning discs.Microsoft has created a virtual version of a bad floppy drive change line for optical discs.

erpdude8 Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 what kind of DVD burner are you using, bizzybody? get specs of it in Device Manager and expand the CD/DVD drives section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bizzybody Posted October 17, 2009 Author Share Posted October 17, 2009 TSST TS-L632D DVD/RW/RAM drive with latest firmware.It's from a Dell laptop, I flashed it with the Toshiba firmware to enable all the media types the drive supports. Dell had Dual Layer DVD-R and DVD-RAM disabled, but Double Layer DVD+R was enabled. Exactly the same drive, just for some reason Dell decided to cripple it a bit.Worked fine for quite a while with autoplay turned off, then one day it started acting up and only quit when I re-enabled autoplay. Probably some "critical update" caused it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
