Select the drive 'Properties' and choose the 'Recording' tab and un-check 'Enable cd recording for this drive' then turn it on again.See if it helps.

Also try, 'My Computer' > 'Properties' 'Hardware' 'Device Manager'.
Expand (click on the '+') the 'IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers'
Highlight and right click on 'Secondary IDE Channel' and 'Uninstall' 'OK' and reboot - the drivers will be reinstalled automatically.

The above is assuming that burner is is connected to the Secondary channel - it may in fact be on the Primary, so you might wish to uninstall the Primary if the first uninstall has no effect.

Will it read Dvd+R and Original Dvds?

Do as attar posted .

Also you may want to do the same thing to that dvd-rw drive.Just above ide/atapi controllers,you'll see DVD/CDRom drives. Click on your LG drive,uninstall drivers,and reboot.

Sometime dvd-rw drives can get lost,making it look like your dvd-rw drive turned into a cd-rw drive. A simple uninstalling the drivers and rebooting usually fixes it.
