hey i'm new to this forum but i have vsited it a couple times before and found some answer i have been searching for from reading other poeoples threads, and from i've seen your all pretty knowledgable about DVD media and hardware.

I have a _NEC DVD+RW ND-2100AD DVD burner in my computer and until recently it had worked perfectly. Now when i put a blank DVD into the burner the computer tells me there is no media in the drive!! i have tried with Nero, cd-clone, DVD decrypter, CDRWIN and a few others. I have tried all types of media available to me about 11 in total - and + and DVDRW's and DVD-Rs. nothihg is working. the closet thing i can tell was i got a virus before and had to do a total system restore. but i know nothing about these hardware!!! so if someone could help, or tell me what information they would need to be able to help me i would greatly appreciate it. i really need some hard disk space and i need to burn some files!!!

thanks

try uninstalling the drive,then do a reinstall,
then ensure the firmware is up to date

you will need the latest firmware to allow the drive to recognise the latest disk's on the market.

if you have DVD Decrypter,you can check yours with that.

tools > drive > check for firmware updates.

as for which ide channel ,my bad,i am getting mixed up with amother thread,!!!,
but while you are there,check the drivers are up to date

my comp>control panel>system > hardware> device manager dvd drives >nec >check driver
