[SOLVED] Need Help File Filters/DVD Burner - Page 2

michael_1975 · 11-14-2008, 11:19 AM

I use Maxell wich is the brand I pretty much always use. I've tried the re-writes as well
won't take either. It won't accept any type of dvd. It will take CD-r though and reads audio and data cds

If you have Uninstalled/Reinstalled the drivers (XP should have done that)
Have successfully removed the UPPER/LOWER Filters
Uninstalled/Reinstalled the related DVD/CD Programs
Tried a different Brand of Media
Then the only thing left is to replace is DVD/CD-ROM.
You may wish to go over what you have done to be sure, before you replace it.

How do I check to see if I have dvd codecs installed

**BCCOMP** · 11-14-2008, 12:09 PM

Hi,
The DVD Codecs would have come with your DVD Player program (ex. WinDVD, Power DVD)

I just re-installed Roxio but now it says no drive detected

michael_1975 · 11-14-2008, 02:47 PM

I took the burners I have and switched the buffer on the back now my DVD is the slave

and my CD RW drive is the master only have one IDE cable connecting the two

after switching the two drives I still have the same problem. I installed dvd writer into an older computer running XP upgrade the burner still won't take dvd's so guess its time for
a new burner.

Hi,
I would have to agree with you, especially if it did not work on another PC.
Atleast you know it was not an OS issue on your PC.
Thanks,
Bill

Hi Bill I just wanted to say thanks for all your help I know your busy.

Hi Mike,

Helping is what I enjoy, especially if I can resolve an issue

.
In your case I was hoping that we could have cleared this up but sometimes it does not work out that way

.

On a good note, a new CD-Rom is not that expensive and is easy to install

.

Let me know how you make out with your new CD-Rom
Thanks,
Bill

Speaking of new CD Roms wich brand do you think is a good brand.

You have a IDE/PATA drive (Not SATA)
