I have had my DVD-RW NEC 3520A for about 6 months now and the latest driver update is installed. The last couple of days drivers have just disappeared off my computer, I had to reinstall the USB's and the printer. Unilaterally, my drive has been giving me grief when I try to make copies for about 3 weeks now, (before the drivers disappeared) forcing me to use the lens cleaner several times before it would recognize there was a dvd in the drive. (I cracked that sucker open you should have seen those dust bunnies in there.) It has always worked fine, with the exception of the occassional troublesome dvd. Now when I place (mainly burned dvd's) one in the drive the computer fails to recognize a disc in the drive. However when I check the properties of the disc it tells me that the disc is in a RAW file system??? When I try to import into Nero Recode it gives me one of two error messages 1.)"Windows can not read from this disk. The disk may be corrupted, or it could be using a format that is not compatible with windows." OR "Nero Recode 2 has encountered an error an can not continue. Invalid file name. This volume does not contain a recognized file system. Please be sure that all required file system drivers are loaded and that the volume is not corrupted." And apparently this is now the case for all the copies I own. I use Verbatim and Philips with very few coasters. I have and use Nero Recode, 1ClickDVDcopy, DVDshrink, DVDdecrypter but stopped using the last two because no more updates are available. I have not installed any new hard/software in the last few months. The dvd is not visible to either Media Player (just to play), Nero, or 1 click. But they play like they usually do in my stand alone dvd players. I am running windows XP SP2. I have been using this for 6 months with no trouble. Im wondering if whatever zap took place and wiped my drivers messed up some settings or is it just a coincidence that is unrelated and my dvd-rw just died? Any clue here?
