HL-DT-ST DVD-ROM GDR8162B Question

Hi there.
I searched the forum for a good 30 minutes trying to answer my own question before posting it but I am still in the dark so I apologize if I overlooked something.

Anyway, here is my issue.

I have a DVD-ROM drive and DVD burner on my PC.
The DVD-ROM drive is a HL-DT-ST DVD-ROM GDR8162B
The DVD burner is a DVDr/RW DX162D-A

I also have a stand alone Panasonic DMR ES-10 DVD burner.

Now when I use the DVD ROM and burner on my PC together I never have an issue. Place the DVD in the E Drive, open DVD Shrink, copy to the D drive. All works well.

Now for whatever reason when I place a disc I made on my stand alone into the E Drive it does not recognize it.

Any idea why?

The discs I make on my stand alone PAnasonic ARE finalized, they DO play on my DVD players, and it is even recognized on the D drive on my PC, but NOT on the E drive (DVD ROM drive).

So if I wanted to make a copy for my parents, instead of the usual copy from E to D drive, I would have to copy from D drive to hard drive then switch discs and insert a blank and burn to D drive.

Is there a reason why my E drive is not recognizing these discs?

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I've had the same problem with burning disc on my sony Vaio
what I found out was some DVD burning software(DVD Shrink) isn't compatible with some DVD-ROM drives

also If you're write speeds are faster then the disc this can make a bad burn

Your dvd-rom drive may not recognize the media. Do you have the latest firmware? Your drive is an LG - find firmware on their site
