Problem for LG (GSA-5169D) DVD RW Dual Layer Burner
DVD Drive not being recognized as a DVD drive
By mark_waldrou on Aug 17, 2009
I have an LG GSA-5169D DVD w/ Honestech One Touch on Win XP SP3. It will read a data CD but will not recognize a DVD. In the 'My Computer' drive list it is being shown as a CD Drive and not a DVD Drive. How can I get Windows to see it as a DVD Drive?

That is not unusual.
Several of my CD/DVD drives are listed as CD drives.
They still play and write DVDs.
The problem is cosmetic and not worth spending time on.
Now if you are trying to play a DVD movie you are going to need a CODEC (Coder/Decoder).
Windows XP does not include a CODEC to play DVD movies.
I use Intervideo WinDVD.
I hope this helps.
