you not give enough infomation,really,..but try another program for burnin,..1st,,then use some tidy,dvd blanks...like verbitim,or philips etc,,if still the same,then change your dvd writer,..they are very cheap now,.its not often a firmware problem

The issue is with your burner. Bet you a cup of coffee (milk and no sugar) that if you replace the unit all of your issues will be sayonara!

Better first checking the connections to it. It might have somehow become disconnected. Then do a hardware search. Also look at your hardware profile, see if there are any unknown devices. You might have to re-install drivers.

It's not a driver disk.... at least not for Windows OS's. Driver support comes from the OS not from a disk. The disk most likely only contains burning software, dvd decoding software, and possibly dos driver.

Optical drives (at least all modern one's) do not require a driver when run in a Windows environment. The OS provides the support automatically. Is the drive shown/listed in My Computer?

SATA devices do not have jumpers to configure as a slave/master.You connect each SATA device to separate SATA connector on the motherboard.

Uninstall Alcohol and see if it is an issue specifically with that program. It may not be compatible. You made need to update the firmware on the bios r the dvd firmware. You may also need to replace the entire DVD burner.

Hello, maybe you're missing a vital codec....so google "codec download" and find a site from which you can download a full suite of codecs (no charge) and it may fix your problem.Else, what media player are you using? try opening it with windows media player. (You'll prob. still need codec download)

Here is LG's support page for your product. Register the drive, once you've registered the product you can request free support in resolving your issue with LG. There doesn't seem to be a driver available for the product which leads me to believe you don't need any additional software to make it work!
