Same Problem

-   Greetings.

I have exactly the same problam as Jeffrey_anor, my DVDRAM device (LG HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GH22NS40) is recognized as a CD reader, not even as a burner, by Windows XP pro SP3.
However, CDBurnerXP can burn files without any problem... Strange problem indeed.

I tried to visit LG's website but this model doesn't seem to have any downloadable firmware =/

Thanks !

The media you add is a DVD correct? If so, your DVD drive driver seem to not be working right. I would take the drive out and boot the pc without it in. Then shut it down and re-install the drive. If this doesnt fix the issue, try re-installing the drivers for your DVD drive. You might want to open device manager and uninstall the drivers before re-installing them. I had this happen to me once and this is how I got it working properly again.

go to the LG site and download the latest firmware for that model and your operating system.
I tried but there site is under construction or destruction or something...

a copy of PowerDVD would be good too.
