win7 Drivers

I hae win7 64Bit and my DVD Drive stopet letting me Burn to it.

So I did a none re format of win7 and it still wont work.

So I go into Device Manager and un install DVD Driver and re start PC.

And lwt win7 install the DVD Driver and it still wont let me Burn Dada Dics.

And yes I can play DVDs and I did try other Discs to Burn.

What can I try.

 

How old is the Drive?

what burning software are you using?

Are you trying to burn more data than the disk can hold?

Have you gone to the Drives website to get testing software?

What error messages?

 

If you open "Computer" do you see the dvd drive? How does it read? Dvd-rw? Dvd-Rom?
Right click on the dvd-drive and choose "properties" there should be 5 tabs on the next screen is the last one "Recording" and if you open it does it show your drive there?

 

My Burner is a DL DVD Burner and I did try just to Burn say one Folder to it that is only 2 MB.
And it was showing up in Computer and Device Manager but I un installed it and re booted and it never put it back.

I try to put Blank DVDs and Blank CDs in and windows screen opens and asks me to open Folder.

I do this and it say Drag and Drop files in and I do this as well.

Then I Clickj Burn To Disc.

Then it asks me how to Burn.

It has As Flas Drive and the next option is To Use In Most PCs And DVD Players.

I click the Second option.
And it starts to Burn and the Graph moves a little bit across the screen then the whole window closess and the Drive Spinss very very fast and never stops.

I even leave it and come back and it is still going.

I have to Reboot to get it to stop and Eject.

 

What brand CD/DVD's are you using and how old?
A friend of mine bought cheapie CD's off Ebay and not one would burn.

 

Do you know if the Drive require DVD + or DVD - disk to burn to?

What is the make and model of the Drive?

When was the last time the drives lens was cleaned?

Basically you get this screen nothing about:
Write to Disk
Create Disk

Example Screen



If yes then your drive is going or you are using the improper disk. Form what you are describing would say the drive is going out.

 

OK I use Just Blank CDs 700 MB and I have the same ones I have been useing.

Then win7 just stopt.

My Drive came with my Dell and I get not Masage on screen win7 just stops Burning and the Drive spins very fast and never stops.

I thought if I go into Device Manager and right click it and un install it and reboot and let win7 re install it will fix.

No go.

And I did a None Format with winb7 and no go.


Am I un installing DVD Driver right?

 

Sounds like you need a new drive as they are not expensive and seldom last very long. The drive should have shown back up so what you did is only another indication the drive is bad.

 

Is this a Dell Desktop or Laptop?

 

From this information you can try re seating the cables (if desktop) or re seat the Drive (if laptop).

If that does not fix the issue the drive is BAD need to REPLACED.

 

I would for sure buy a couple of new quality DVD's and tried them before I turfed anything.
Reseating the cables is a good idea, Rustys.
If a Desk top try a different port on the motherboard.

 

I have a Dell Desktop and I will try another Drive.

But I did try to go into REGEDIT and under
H Key Local Machine
System
Current Controle Set
Controle
Class

Look in the list for
4d36e965

Highlight it and on right hand side Delete Upper and Lower Filters.

But I see no Upper or Lower Filters?

OK my DVD Burner does not Burn even standard CD Discs it will just spin very very fast and not Burn.

I try diferant Programs and the same thing.

I even un installed DVD Drivers in Device Manager and shut pc down and unplug DVD Data Cable.

Then restart to have it see No DVD Drive.

Then shut pc down again and re connect Data Cable to DVD Drive and re start system.

I gi to Burn DVDs and same thing.

I even replaced DVD Drive with new one and no good.



I even did a Re Install of win7 and no good???

 

Where did you get the new one from? How old is it?

 

What color is the cable that connects the drive to the board?

 

I do not remember I have a lot of them that I only used maybe 2 times.

But I keep them for things like this.

Do you have any thing I can try next?

 

Not really....as it's definitely a hardware issue with the player itself. If you have that many....keep trying till you find one that will work.

 

I put up to 3 DVD drives in and nothing.

I did find this


But I can not find the program he is talking about.

What page do I go to?

 

Have you tried changing out or looking at your data/power cables?
