DVD drive problem with recordable media

bestalexguy · 07-31-2009, 10:21 AM

My DVD-RW drive (listed as "HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM GSA-H55N" in Windows Device Manager) reads factory recorded CDs & DVDs but doesn't recognize any (new or already recorded) recordable media: after loading a dvd it usually behaves as if nothing were loaded; occasionally an Autoplay menu pops up, but after I choose an item, the message "Please insert a disk in drive G:" is displayed.

- This happens also with quality media
- I already tried uninstalling/reinstalling the drive

Thanks in advance for any suggestion!

What brand is the "quality Media" you are attempting to use?
