Page 1 of Can anyone help? I am having problems with my dvd re-writer

I have little hope that anyone can help but I know they`re are some very intelligent Computer experts on these forums! :)

I have an external dvd re-writer drive. I have had it less than 12 months but have lost the receipt.

It was working perfectly for a while.

But now I can not copy any dvds. It reads the discs perfectly but when it comes to writing the new discs it will not recognise my blank discs and repeatedly asks me to insert a medium. I have tried several brands of discs that used to work so my discs are not the problem.

Is this bad news, has my re-writer broke or are my settings wrong?

I don`t know what has caused this problem. Can anyone help? I will be very grateful for any answers.

I would try re installing the burning prog or different writing software and see if that make a difference -- if not try the manufacturer site for info and possibly the latest drivers.

If u aint got the receipt - would u be likely to have a credit or debit card statement?

Good luck - at the worst you can get new dual layers for round about £50.

What if the Hokey Cokey really is what it`s all about?
