I seem to have the same issue, as well as three of my friends all have different Burners/ OP systems but have the same issue with it not picking up the empty disks to burn. I have a HP DVD Writer 530r and up until a week or more ago it worked fine to write both CDs and DVDs now every disk you put it says its not empty. If you go into the CD through the drive it will open fine show it is empty. I though it might of just been dieing but since two of my friends now have the same issue I'm not so sure.

Dear firenice and Gia,

Hi Gia Giavanni!! Hi Firenice!! Hi GodChild!!

So, these seems a serious issue we having here, since three different person having a same issue

I would try to provide the solutions here, but keep in mind that for every single computer, the solutions maybe differ. So, I would guide one by one, and I would mention the specific steps for each one of you. If I didn't mention its specific, then you all may go ahead and try, ok

So, can I know is there any hardware or software that you add on your computer recently? And is all of you have iTunes installed on your computer?

Hi again GodChild!!

So, you have iTunes installed on your system?

So GodChild, can you try this steps below, do it one by one, and post again whether it resolves your issue, ok

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.Open up the REGISTRY EDITOR, by typing regedit in the RUN box (XP) or search field in start menu (Vista)

2.Click File , Export , type a filename that is easy for you to remember, after that browse to the any of your folder, and click Save. In case your registry corrupted, u can always browse back to the folder where u save this registry, and double click on it

3.Then, click the plus sign ( + ) next to the following items in the list:

* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

* SYSTEM

* CurrentControlSet

* Control

* Class

4.Select 4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318 . Make sure you have selected this exact key name. Select the LowerFilters value on the right pane and press the Delete key. Confirm the deletion by clicking Yes. Try to look for UpperFilters as well on the right pane. Delete the string UpperFilters as well.

5. Delete all other UpperFilter and LowerFilter values within the 4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318 key if they exist. Then, close the registry editor and restart the computer. Your cd/dvd drive should now be recognized by Windows.

p/s:
See whether your writing/burning software recognize your drive as well. If it doesn't, you may need to reinstall the CD/DVD writing software again.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

WARNING!!

A improper editing of Registry Editor could make your computer not bootable at all. So, make sure you followed the command exactly as above, and don't delete or change any other string in the Registry Editor. Make sure you make a proper backup by clicking File > Export and save to proper folder. It is better if you can create a System Restore point as well (Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore)

Let us know if that work by posting here again

This seems like a common problem. At first about 4 years ago now my computer stopped reading Burnt CD's and hasn't sense. Well now it's not reading DVD's or CD's, burnt or not.

I figured oh well, time to buy an external. Doesn't work either. So I started reading more. Found this site and various others. I've got my primary and secondary IDE's on DMA, all drivers are up-to-date (and normally always are), disabled all non microsoft services (minus my wireless adapter), and have tried what you have said with regedit. Still no luck.

Hi Cpt Spaulding!!

Did you tried to delete the upper filter and lower filter as I posted above?

And you didn't have to post the HijackThis log file on the forum other than the security forum. Only security experts use this tools to troubleshoot the infections on the computer

Cpt Spaulding · 02-05-2008, 02:33 AM

Yes I have, deleted and restarted and same thing.

I have two different CD/DVD Combo drives (one I just bought) windows can recognize both it's just that they cannot read ANY media.

My Samsung drive is running U101 (installed U102 before but it was the wrong driver so I reinstalled U101) the External CD/DVD Combo is recognized as AOPEN DVD RW ISU8484G USB Device.

I also found Upper and LowerFilters in that string in these locations.

Hi again Cpt Spaulding!

Don't delete or edit any other registry string on your own!!

Try to uninstall the iTunes first. See if the drive is working after that.

Cpt Spaulding · 02-06-2008, 07:45 AM

Still same problem even after I delted ITunes and restarted the computer.

**bhahar84** · 02-06-2008, 08:11 AM

Is there any other softwares or hardwares you add before the cd/dvd not working?

Cpt Spaulding · 02-07-2008, 05:44 AM

I've been thinking the same thing since I had this issue when NERO was installed but unsure. The drive in the laptop hasn't read burnt CD's for a LONG time (about 4-6 months after I bought the laptop). But even the brand new external not working made me realize it has to be internal setting on the computer.

I guess I can start deleting programs to see which it could be. The only one I can think of at the moment would be QuickTime since I don't remember trying to use my drive since I installed iTues + Quicktime.

**bhahar84** · 02-07-2008, 10:20 AM

So, it absolutely the internal settings, since the external drive also not working. Try to uninstall the applications you suspect as a culprit first, like iTunes and Quicktime. Also try to uninstall the Nero, as you mentioned it earlier. See if its working after that

DLem · 02-07-2008, 10:59 AM

I'm going to try your suggestion later today for my buddy's computer when I get home, but thought I'd throw in here to see if you think I might have a similar problem.

He has a Sony removeable dvd/r that is plugged in through usb connection. He recently installed a new video card (AGP) and now the dvd/r isn't working properly. He's tried drivers and settings and all the like, even reinstalled windows. to no avail. the dvd/r works on my computer just fine, plug it in and go.

I should mention that I believe he said it would do audio, but not video. Also when we do a search on canyourunit.com to see if he can run Battlefield 2142, the only problem that comes up is that it can't see a dvd drive that can run the game (which he used to run on the removable one).

I figure it might require a similar solution as you have here as it just began being problematic when he installed the new video card.

Any other ideas I might want to look at?

Hi DLem!!

From your description, it seems like there's only a new graphic card added, which lead to the issue. It seems like this is not any software or setting related. Can I know what is your buddy new graphic card? If it is one of the latest powerful graphic card such as 8800 GT, then I suspect this might be a power issue. The new powerful graphic card, usually requires way too much power, hence may cause the system to become unstable if you didn't upgrade the power supply unit.

Just simple troubleshooting, try to unplug the graphic card, and see whether the DVD-drive working. If its working fine, the its confirm the power issue here

I figure it might require a similar solution as you have here as it just began being problematic when he installed the new video card.

Cpt Spaulding · 02-07-2008, 12:26 PM

Already had NERO uninstalled years ago. I uninstalled QuickTime and MacroExpress (a program I know I installed before I had issues). Still not working.

My event log shows an Event 11 for the cdrom (I'm guessing for the internal one but I don't see how since it tries to read and even the little CD comes up beside the cursor on both drives when it's reading yet the drives show nothing in them). Check cdroms and neither are on the location being shown.

Also getting an Event 7 on the disk (even though both my internal and externals look fine and I even made sure to redefrag them manually with DiskKeeper).

Cdrom and disk errors are sporadic (looks like some happen during startup but I can't get them to appear when I do task like load a DVD do something on the internal or external HD).

Last issue is when I check Storage\Removable Storage\Libraries\(both internal and external combo drives) I get 0 Mounts, and nothing in the Device address areas. Also they have location 0 and 0 (0) which is also the same location as my internal and external HD's.

Just checked security settings and decided to add Everyone with full access (since I didn't see that user group). No luck.

Just noticed I've had disk Warning Event 51 at \Device\Harddisk1\D... D and E are my cdroms (D internal E external.. HD's are C internal F external).

Also I have nothing that shows in Storage\Removable Storage\Media

I have a question behahar84, my DVD/CD-RW Drive will play dvds, cds but when I try to burn a video file from hard drive with AVS video converter or AVS video editor, when I insert dvd it says no disc inserted, when I click D drive it says no disc inserted (which there is) my question is your suggestion to others would it work in my situation (deleting upper filter and lower filter in registry. thanks Terp

DLem · 02-07-2008, 12:47 PM

Thanks bhahar84 for responding. We have actually already tried removing the video card and drivers to go back to the old onboard video, and it doesn't work doing that either anymore. That said, we haven't spent quite as much time on the details there.

His new video card is a: HIS Radeon ATI 2600 XT. It could be a powersupply issue as I believe we've discussed that possibility on other problems he's recently had. He recently grabbed a M-Audio soundcard that wouldn't run properly as well.

Another posibility we've considered is mobo. He has an ABIT SG72 motherboard, and i can't help but think it's problematic, considering the number of issues he's had compared to myself, or anyone else i've built a computer for using an ASUS mobo. Any chance that could be an issue? Any way I could figure out why/how?

My more complete details are in this thread:

Removable DVD drive, issues with new video card

*edit*

To add a bit more, when we go into my computer and view the drive it will show what disc we've got in there, so it is reading it somewhat.

You have a code 11 on CD-drive? Try to go to Device Manager, and right click on CD/DVD-Rom and choose Uninstall. Try restart the computer then.

I have a HP DVD Writer 530r and up until a week or more ago it worked fine to write both CDs and DVDs now every disk you put it says its not empty. If you go into the CD through the drive it will open fine show it is empty. I though it might of just been dieing but since two of my friends now have the same issue I'm not so sure.

Hi GodChild!! So, these seems a serious issue we having here, since three different person having a same issue I would try to provide the solutions here, but keep in mind that for every single computer, the solutions maybe differ. So, I would guide one by one, and I would mention the specific steps for each one of you. If I didn't mention its specific, then you all may go ahead and try, ok So, can I know is there any hardware or software that you add on your computer recently? And is all of you have iTunes installed on your computer? __________________ .:CPU-Z::Power Supply::Recuva::Unlocker::SensorsView::PSU Calculator::Everest:.[/center]

Did you tried to delete the upper filter and lower filter as I posted above? And you didn't have to post the HijackThis log file on the forum other than the security forum.

I have two different CD/DVD Combo drives (one I just bought) windows can recognize both it's just that they cannot read ANY media. My Samsung drive is running U101 (installed U102 before but it was the wrong driver so I reinstalled U101) the External CD/DVD Combo is recognized as AOPEN DVD RW ISU8484G USB Device.

Don't delete or edit any other registry string on your own!! Try to uninstall the iTunes first. See if the drive is working after that. __________________ .:CPU-Z::Power Supply::Recuva::Unlocker::SensorsView::PSU Calculator::Everest:.[/center]

Cpt Spaulding Registered User Join Date: Feb 2008 Posts: 6 OS: XP Pro SP2	Re: CD/DVD Burner not reading Blank discs I've been thinking the same thing since I had this issue when NERO was installed but unsure. The drive in the laptop hasn't read burnt CD's for a LONG time (about 4-6 months after I bought the laptop). But even the brand new external not working made me realize it has to be internal setting on the computer. I guess I can start deleting programs to see which it could be. The only one I can think of at the moment would be QuickTime since I don't remember trying to use my drive since I installed iTues + Quicktime.

Try to uninstall the applications you suspect as a culprit first, like iTunes and Quicktime. Also try to uninstall the Nero, as you mentioned it earlier. See if its working after that __________________ .:CPU-Z::Power Supply::Recuva::Unlocker::SensorsView::PSU Calculator::Everest:.[/center]

DLem Registered User Join Date: Feb 2008 Location: Canadar Posts: 15 OS: XP	Re: CD/DVD Burner not reading Blank discs I'm going to try your suggestion later today for my buddy's computer when I get home, but thought I'd throw in here to see if you think I might have a similar problem. He has a Sony removeable dvd/r that is plugged in through usb connection. He recently installed a new video card (AGP) and now the dvd/r isn't working properly. He's tried drivers and settings and all the like, even reinstalled windows. to no avail. the dvd/r works on my computer just fine, plug it in and go. I should mention that I believe he said it would do audio, but not video. Also when we do a search on canyourunit.com to see if he can run Battlefield 2142, the only problem that comes up is that it can't see a dvd drive that can run the game (which he used to run on the removable one). I figure it might require a similar solution as you have here as it just began being problematic when he installed the new video card. Any other ideas I might want to look at?

Cpt Spaulding Registered User Join Date: Feb 2008 Posts: 6 OS: XP Pro SP2	Re: CD/DVD Burner not reading Blank discs Already had NERO uninstalled years ago. I uninstalled QuickTime and MacroExpress (a program I know I installed before I had issues). Still not working. My event log shows an Event 11 for the cdrom (I'm guessing for the internal one but I don't see how since it tries to read and even the little CD comes up beside the cursor on both drives when it's reading yet the drives show nothing in them). Check cdroms and neither are on the location being shown. Also getting an Event 7 on the disk (even though both my internal and externals look fine and I even made sure to redefrag them manually with DiskKeeper). Cdrom and disk errors are sporadic (looks like some happen during startup but I can't get them to appear when I do task like load a DVD do something on the internal or external HD). Last issue is when I check Storage\Removable Storage\Libraries\(both internal and external combo drives) I get 0 Mounts, and nothing in the Device address areas. Also they have location 0 and 0 (0) which is also the same location as my internal and external HD's. Just checked security settings and decided to add Everyone with full access (since I didn't see that user group). No luck. Just noticed I've had disk Warning Event 51 at \Device\Harddisk1\D... D and E are my cdroms (D internal E external.. HD's are C internal F external). Also I have nothing that shows in Storage\Removable Storage\Media

DLem Registered User Join Date: Feb 2008 Location: Canadar Posts: 15 OS: XP	Re: CD/DVD Burner not reading Blank discs Thanks bhahar84 for responding. We have actually already tried removing the video card and drivers to go back to the old onboard video, and it doesn't work doing that either anymore. That said, we haven't spent quite as much time on the details there. His new video card is a: HIS Radeon ATI 2600 XT. It could be a powersupply issue as I believe we've discussed that possibility on other problems he's recently had. He recently grabbed a M-Audio soundcard that wouldn't run properly as well. Another posibility we've considered is mobo. He has an ABIT SG72 motherboard, and i can't help but think it's problematic, considering the number of issues he's had compared to myself, or anyone else i've built a computer for using an ASUS mobo. Any chance that could be an issue? Any way I could figure out why/how? My more complete details are in this thread: Removable DVD drive, issues with new video card edit To add a bit more, when we go into my computer and view the drive it will show what disc we've got in there, so it is reading it somewhat.
