I have installed a new DVD-RW that shows up in device mangager as the proper device. The drive works fine in all respects except that of a DVD burner. In "My computer" it's decscription with no disc in the drive is "DVD-RW Drive". As soon as a blank DVD (either + or -) is inserted, the description changes to "CD Drive". Any ideas?
P3, Did you try burning the DVD and it failed? You should try upgrading the firmware on DVD drive. http://www.samsung.com/support/productsupport/download/Model_Select.aspx?type=ODD+Products&typecode=300400&subtype=DVD+Writer&subtypecode=300405&model=TS-H552U&filetype=FM&language= Or, your just interested why Windows is calling your expensive DVD burner a measley CD Drive? Your Burner is an all-in-one.(I think) It plays(and burns) cd's and dvd's. Whatever program you use to burn has not informed Windows of its true intentions yet...Which is to burn a dvd or a cd. It doesn't know what you are burning until something tells it to. Let me know what happens. Good Luck, Tim
