I tried updating the firmware on my new DVD writer. I found an update, installed it, rebooted and no difference. Then I decided to look for a firmware update for my CD writer too, since I was doing these updates. When I installed the update on the CD writer and rebooted, I was then unable to access the CD writer, but I could now access the DVD writer. However, when I tried to copy a file to the DVD writer, windows tells me it's encountering a problem copying the file to the drive. It's not working.
So now, I'm able to access the dvd writer. I'm able to right-click on it and select "open" and it opens, without the error message, which I was getting before the updates, but am now getting that message on the CD-writer instead.
I can open the CD- writer if I have a non-blank disc in the drive. If it's blank or the drive is empty, I can't open it. So I can no longer copy files there and write them, and cannot copy files to the DVD drive either, even though I can open it.
So my CD drive tells me "D:/ is not accessable incorrect function" if I try and double-click on it with a blank cd in the tray; or when there is no cd in the tray, it tells me "please insert disc" if I double-click on it. If the disc has something on it, then it opens when I double-click on it.
My DVD drive was acting like this until I updated the firmware for both drives. Now it behaves normally, except I cannot copy files to it. So the problem switched drives, except for the copy function which I lost altogether.
I have several writing programs I've always used. I have Nero, alcohol, ISO programs, VCD Easy...etc.
I havn't tried activating either in BIOS. Both say they are "working properly" in their respective properties windows.
tried refresh. same deal,
thanks, frank
