That is normal for My Computer to show that drive as a CD-drive when blank dvd is inserted.Notice the Bold DVD-R under that E drive icon-it knows there's a dvd in it.

Did you go through device manager/cdrom dvd drives/click drivers tab/unistall drivers/and reboot?

Are those drives configured correctly? The Jumper pins on the back of the drive matching the corrector connector of your IDE ribbon?

Your C drive should be Primary master.
The E and F drives can be configured a couple different ways.

Your reader drive,Secondary Master-set jumpers to MA
Your burning drive,Secondary slave,unless you got a dell and you'll have to use Cable select-C/S.Set jumpers to SL or CS.

Make sure all cables are seated correctly.


What's the current firmware version?
What's the brand name and speed rate of those blank -r's?
