Hello all, thanks for viewing this and I hope some can help...

I bought an external DVD burner awhile back, Plextor DVD-R/RW PX-708UF, and I have been unable to get it to function when it comes to DVDs or DVD burning. I get the following:

F:\ is not accessible.
The request could not be performed because of an I/O error.

But when I put in a CD it works perfectly fine, as well as WRITING to CDs.

I once had all the software installed and still it didnt work.

Also, not sure if this matters but I currently have two INTERNAL drives installed on my computer; a CD-burner and a DVD player (original drive I got with my CPU years ago).
