I got a this dvd burner in December and all was good, fine installation so the burning was fine. This all continued until last week. All of a sudden, the drive was not recognizing dvds as dvds. I went to burn something and it said, please insert a proper disk, so I tried 2 different brands of dvds about 5 each to see if they worked. But the same message kept on popping up. I replaced the dvd drive for 10$ at staples (had to buy a stupid plan). Now the same thing is happening, so I am beginning to think it was not the burner that was having problems. So, I would like to ask:
1) What am I doing wrong? I updated Nero to 7 now.
2) Anyone else had a problem like this?
3) Am I having errors because I installed some program that messed it up?

I'm pretty desperate right now, my hds filling up and this new burner is not working.
PS. I found a way to get around it, I used DVD decryptor to burn an iso and it worked. I just tried to do it again and was unsuccessful.

What is going on? Thanks for reading and seriously, any help is appreciated.

yeah some messed up shit happened...all of a sudden the burner started working again...I didn't upgrade firmware or anything, just uninstalled, reinstalled. The thing is, I did that before and it had no effect. Thanks for the help, let's hope this doesn't happen again.
