My DVD-R is not recognized as a recordable device

I can't use my DVD-R to burn CDs or DVDs it just play them and I can't seem to have it fixed. I tried changing drivers but I am pretty sure this is the driver I need. Any thoughts?

    I have windows XP Pro SP2

    I have just bought this Drive...
    DVD - Asus DVD-RW 1608P
    Procesor - Pentium 4
    Burning Program Nero

  • Jill Markus Jul 09, 2007

    I have Nero 5, but I don't think it has anything to do with Nero... even the regular write in Windows doesn't work. Windows XP just does not recognize it. I think it is either the driver or my DVD... I will update it to Nero 7 and let you know

  • Jill Markus Jul 10, 2007

    Thanks, I updated the Nero and tried again with Windows media player, in the end I have changed the driver once more and I was able to make it work. Maybe all the updates made it to work!
    Thanks for you help an patience

    Which version of Nero are you using? each newer version supports more drive types.

  • Anonymous Jul 09, 2007

    Updating Nero would be my first suggestion to try - also have you tried using the drive from windows media player for CD burning?

I have a Sony Vaio desktop with XP. My DVD-CD
Have you tried burning a CD in the new drive? Because the drive is a DVD it will always be recognised as a DVD, but should work perfectly well with CDs both playing and recording.

Hi There,

Windows XP doesn't support burning DVDs, only CDs. You need to install an application that will burn DVDs. There are several;

Dvd recording
I had the same problem and spent some time looking up this issue. I have a sony dvd player and it seems to have trouble reading almost any burnt dvd or cd. I have read that sonys seem to prefer the cheap dvds and cds for burning. It seems the cheap'O dvd players play burnt dvds and cds better that the nice ones, go figure.

There is more info out there about making sure to burn dvds and cds in the correct format.
You can try different burning software that has more options than just vista.
If you are creating a dvd from a movie file such as an avi or mpeg, please explain more on what you are doing and trying to accomplish.

Kim,  I'm glad you asked this.  I have had problems with my superdrive as well.  What I found out through persistent research is this:     The new Superdrives can take CD+R and DVD+R.  (I am assuming you are asking about recording?   However, the older models of Superdrives ---usually found in Powerbook G4s, can take CD-R and DVD-R.  These are different from the first ones ini that they are slower to burn, and just a few gb short of space than the +.  this should help solve the problem with taking new cds and dvds for burning.  The superdrive tends to just spit these right back out.  If you are referring to playing them, then have you tried cleaning the dirty ones?  Check the help section at www.apple.com.  they have wonderful solutions.  Try to put in a couple new cds or dvds to play.  Open up itunes or the dvd player before you put the disks in.  If you're still having trouble, make use of that warranty and go to your nearest apple store to fix it right up! Hope this helps!

Lite-on DVD R/W combo LH-20A1L BLO5 Blank discs not recognized
Have you checked device manager to see if you have a yellow checkmark on your DVD./CD drives? if ok, sounds to me like the maker of the LH-20A1l BLO5 either needs to fix your problem or replace it. The Nero 7 should enable it to work correctly.
