[resolved]Re: DVD ROM DRIVE

BeBeau · 05-01-2007, 04:46 AM

For some time now I've been getting the message 'you have files ready to be
written to CD/DVD', yet every time I put a disc, be it DVD-R, DVD+R+W, ETC.,
into my drive I get the message 'no disc in drive. My D drive is a Matshita DVD/
CDRW UJDA770 and it seems I tried everything, well obviously not everything. I'm hoping someone can help and solve this problem for me. I've tried Nero, CDBurnerXP,FinalBurner and some other, but alas, the problem still persist. I greatly appreciate any help I can get. thank you

Hi, Bebeau again. Re: DVD drive. Thanks for the help, it was greatly appreciated.
However, the problem still persist. I don't remember if I mentioned it in my
earlier post or not, but whenever I put a blank DVD+RW disc into the drive in an attempt to burn or what have you, it fails to boot, yet all other disc, regular DVD's, etc., play fine. This conumdrum is wearing me out. Help please!!

check for a firmware update,have you tried different brands of disks
are you formatting dvdrw disks before using them

BeBeau · 05-03-2007, 03:31 PM

Bebeau here, thanks for your help. Yes, I have tried different disc brands and
I've also tried updating my drive and all I received for my efforts was this
message 'the version of the installed software is out of update scope. Check that an updateable version is installed. As for formatting my disc, the drive
doesn't boot-up when I put the disc in (DVD+RW). Again, thanks.

Bad news. The UJDA770 will not burn DVDs. It burns all types of CD's but will only read DVD disk.

BeBeau · 05-05-2007, 04:22 AM

Thank you Terrister. The information was greatly appreciated. I'd like to know
if it's at all possible that I can download another drive with DVD burning capabilities? Also, what can I do to speed-up communication while viewing
past episodes on CBS's innertube. Lately when I look at past episodes it keeps
stopping every two minutes or so to communicate. Yeah, I know, It's just one
problem after the other with me (smile). Anyway, thanks again.

i completely missed it was not a dvd burner
no you have to buy a dvdrw drive,it is a dvd laser in the drive that does the burning,not software
like this

Another very good site to buy hardware for PC's is http://www.performance-pcs.com/ I bought every single part for my PC from them, immediate shipment, great prices, NewEgg gave me trouble, but your experience may differ.

Hi, BeBeau here again. Just wanted to take a minute and thank everyone @
Tech Support for their help. Again, I greatly appreciate all y'all have done.
Thanks.

Ebay is a good place to find parts for your computer. I am sure you can find the drive you want there for a good price.
