Windows won't recognize new cd-rom aopen #cd-956b will play cd's will not burn cd's

What software are you using to burn with? Have you tried other CD's? What are you trying to burn? Is the file/files copyright protected? Will the DCD/CD rom play media? Have you upgraded your OS?

The
CRX880A is a cd writer and DVD reader it doesn't record dvd only plays them

Thanks for using Fixya.

I have the same situation. My computer has a
DVD-RW/CD-RW installed yet when it is empty, the computer simply recognizes it as a CD drive. However, it will automatically recognize any DVD I place in the drive. Even a blank DVD-R. So it's not really a problem for me.

Also, if you type in DEVICE MANAGER in your windows search area, it will show you all your computer's hardware and peripherals. I have Windows Vista 64 bit and in device manager it does recognize it as an ATAPI DVD under "DVD/CD-ROM DRIVES".

I haven't seen a DVD burner yet that won't play or write cd's; maybe this is standard.

I wouldn't worry about it as long as it performs the functions (play/burn DVD's?)

Hope this helps.

Same thing is happening to me. Does anyone know of a solution to this problem?

If th logo is DVD ROM it will not burn

If the Logo is DVD RW it will burn

is everything wired up properly?
when you enter bios, does it recognize the dvd-writer?
which system do you use?
did you install the right driver fitting your operation system?
does windows recognize the drive?

please find out and come again!

Which operating system of Windows are you using to burn them?

If you are using Windows XP you will need a program such as Nero to burn them. The send to DVD doesn't work in XP. It will only work on Cds. One should have came with the DVD.
