CD/DVD Burner Disappeared
Mar 23, 2008
I bought a new ASUS M51SN laptop last month running Windows Vista. I have subsequently loaded MS Office 2003, Skype, Norton SystemWorks and NERO8. I recently upgraded Vista with SP1, Nero, Skype and Norton to their latest versions and the ASUS Bios to 304. While I had a number of software problems prior to these upgrades, I placed my faith in the Vista upgrade, but am still left with a number of irritating problems.
My DVD burner has disappeared from Windows and Norton while Nero is still happy to test it (Diskspeed). The device manager says everything is good, but I cannot see the DVD in either Windows Explorer or My Computer. In the event log, I can see that the unit has encountered a number of bad block events, as well as a number of errors during a paging operation...............

I am trying to make an audio CD. Using CDburnerXP however it isnt' recognizing my burner. I have a HP notebook dv7 vista 64. I had previous troubles trying to burn movies. I am afraid I may have deleted something I shouldn't have. Does anyone know how I can get the drive to become recognizable? Is there drivers I need to go back and download?

I am using an audio editor called WaveLab Essential 6. When I create a CD Montage of songs and try to WRITE to CD, it opens up the WRITE CD dialogue box and shows my device as Optiarc DVD/RW AD-7580A. Everything seems fine until I choose to WRITE. At that point, it shows that the CD creation progress is 100% and says that the CD was created successfully. The elapsed time shows 5 seconds and Saved Data shows 52.12 MB (5'9'' of audio). The real problem here is that the CD is still blank and nothing was recorded on it. Can anyone recommend a solution to get this CD Burner to actually write? It works fine in Media Player. I am using Windows Vista, Intel Pentium Dual Core, 3 Gigs, the CD drive is listed above.

I insert a blank DVD and the computer won't even recognize that there is a disk in the drive. I've used these blank DVD's to burn movies on several other computers, and those DVD's that have movies on them, from the exact same stack of blank DVD's open up and play the movie perfectly, it's only the blank DVD's that are not being recognized...... This is really frusterating.....
The device is a SONY CDRWDVD CRX3102 SCSI CdRom Device it will recognize blank CD's but not BLANK DVD's..... I swear I've burnt DVD's using this drive before, but now it's not working.... am I crazy? or just stupid? What am I doing wrong.

Most posts want advice on how to resolve an issue with existing hardware or software. I'm asking for advice on what to buy to avoid any issues. I need a SATA DVD burner for my new x64 build. So far I just have the case, power supply, and processor. In my wish list is the RAM, MB, HD, and OS. Each has been verified to at least "work" with x64 Vista according to the MS compatibility list. Now I'm looking for a DVD burner that some of you existing x64 users have installed and like.

I have two SATA burners installed with Vista x64, they burn fine but burst rate is only 14 mb/s when it was 60 mb/s on XP Pro
Does anyone know what driver I might have installed that I shouldn't have or need to install?
This is a Asus P5K Deluxe P35 chipset board.

I have a compaq laptop - only had it a month! & have Vista Premium home edition. Things were great with it till last night - tried to burn an Audio CD using "Cyberlink Power2go" and error message "no burner available or you do not have access to the burner" appeared. Used this program before without any probs so thought it might be a problem with the disc, tried another got same message, so I stuck in an original DVD to see if it would read that OK.

I am not computer-wise. I have brand new HP laptop with Vista Home Premium. I am new to Vista. I burned two DVDs that will play on my computers, but not on any stand-alone player. Exploring the discs, I see they are lacking the folder AUDIO_TS, which I thought was mandatory even though empty. 1. Am I right to infer that this is the problem? 2. How do I fix it? (I believe the discs were burned with Windows DVD Maker product version 6.0.6000.16386). 3. If this is the wrong tack to pursue, what questions should I be asking?

I'm using Vista Home Premium and over the past year have burned approx 100 DVDs without any problems using Roxio and Windows. I started having problems with burns being successful till finally every time I tried to burn a DVD it failed and I wasted a blank. The DVD drive itself works fine so I reformatted Windows in an attempt to remedy what I thought was a software problem to no avail. Every time I attempt to burn a DVD, no matter which method I try, the burn fails.

My external DVD burning drive was working fine the other day as a matter of fact I had burned 3 DVD's but when I tried to burn the 4th one my computer still detected the burning drive but my burning program (ImgBurn) didn't detect the DVD media. Does this sound like maybe the laser went bad in the drive.

I've just bought an Optiarc AD-7170S Sata DVD burner. The problem is, it isn't recognized by Vista. I'm running Vista Ultimate x64. I have a Phenom 9550 Quad, 4 GB DDR2-800, and a Gigabte MA78GM-S2H motherboard. I've tried to download SATA/RAID controller drivers from the Gigabyte site, but Vista doesn't seem to be able to install them, or to properly download them for that matter. I've tried emulating IDE in my BIOS, but that failed too.

After I installed SP1 today, all third party burning software will not recognize my DVD drive as a burning drive. I can only burn from the embedded windows burning software.

I am running a Vista 64-bit platform with a VMware guest, using Vista 32-bit. Although I have Windows Defender running in the guest system, I have not had any anti-virus software (I use McAfee on the host system). Last night, I downloaded and installed the AVG-free anti-virus software for the guest system. It was working as intended when I shut down the computer.
This morning, in booting to the guest system, there is no AVG software in sight. The downloadable program from AVG is not even found in the Downloads folder! Windows Defender is still operable, and telling me that I do not have an anti-virus program installed.

I backed up my files onto CD (work files). Made a number of CDs. I'm on dell inspiron 9300, w/ xp and did an upgrade to vista using an in place install. My understanding was that the programs AND files were to be carried over onto the new OS. All of my programs and applications stayed. But my files...gone! can't find any of them. And all but one of my CDs are good--except that for some reason the most important files are in an empty folder on one of the CDs, many months worth of work related documents- I must have messed it up when backing it up. Is there anyway to find the files that vista was supposed to keep? I picked up an external hard drive today when I realized how little space I had left but not soon enough to use it to back up before.

while surfing online i was looking into some language converter tools when my system hanged.. i manually shut down the system by holding the power button.. But since then on starting, my desktop and taskbar have disappeared.. however m able to access everything from task manager..
I looked onto 1 of the treads which had the solution to such a problem and changed the value of shell in the registry to explorer.exe.. However even then my desktop is not appearing on start up .. Only when i start a new process from task manager "explorer.exe", then my desktop appears..

Yesterday just before switching off I noticed that SP2 was available via Windows Update. As I was going to bed, I thought I would leave it until today to install it. When I go to Windows Update, SP2 is no longer offered, although some other updates were. SP2 hasn't been installed, so where has it gone? Will it be offered again?

I have an HP Pavilion dv6700 Notebook with Vista Home Premium. The computer is just over a year old and the Pioneer DVDRW drive (DR-KD08HB) just stopped working. It no longer appears under Device Manager or Windows Explorer and the disk tray won't even open. I've had no problems with this drive before, it just seemed to die on me yesterday after I inserted a CD (which I can't retrieve). I ran the Microsoft Fix it 50027 but nothing happened. Is there anything I can do to get it working again?

I have just installed vista onto a laptop using the dvd drive, but when it was all installed it hasn't seemed to install the dvd drive as it doesn't appear on my computer or device manager, just wondered if anyone knows a solution, I have tried to do the regedit thing but the files that need deleting aren't even there, want to put xp back on as the network adapter isn't working either as i think that it isn't compatible with Vista but can't seem to do it as when i try rebooting with the cd in the laptop isn't finding it, even when i got to setup to try and change boot default there is no cddvd drive option there
