I have two new drives. One I insert a disc, under "My Computer" it recognizes that a disc has been inserted, however, I cannot access anything on either a DVD or CD-Rom. It shows 0 bytes. We initially had the drives on cable select. We changed that to master/slave. Now one drive works sometimes and the other, although it shows up in My Computer, it doesn't recognize any discs. Help!
I am running Windows XP. That was the first thing I tried. The problem was a software issue. I uninstalled Roxio software that was recently installed and the drives work now without any problems.I am running Windows XP. That was the first thing I tried. The problem was a software issue.

So the driver is either 'malfunctioning' or it's broken...do you know what revision firmware the drive is using? Your disk authoring software may tell you this. The latest version is 1.22 which you can get by Googling PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-112D firmware. Or go to the Pioneer website. I do not know how to upgrade the firmware for the recorder in MAC Land, in PC Land the firmware update is a simple executable file.
If you are running this version you can try to reflash it. Have you tried another brand of DVD disc? Some discs are less compatible than others. Try another brand of DVD
This unit has alot of issue with CD reading and writing probably its a problem with the lens of this player, so since its still new better take it to the store and have it replace..
I have a Pioneer DVDRW DVR-K16, in a sony dv81114Notebook. Running Windows XP. It cannot play dvd's and cd's, It will recognize blank CD-R's but when I insert a DVD-R it say's no disc installed. I have firmware version 1.15.

Are you using an 80-conductor type ribbon cable? The new drive requires 80-conductor cable. Plus, you may need to switch the jumper on the back of the DVR drive to CS.
It uses SATA and Ultra DMA (80-conductor).
Is the jumper set to master?? You may need to pull the jumper off and see if the DVR drive works with it off.
This is correct, as there is no TOC on a blank disk there is nothing to read.
it is your writing software that identifies blank media when inserted, so you may wish to check your software is appropriate for your requirements
Cheers :D
