Problem is that my DVD combo TEAC-DW-224E-A reads cds but not DVD kindly help

Hi samuelsenml1
Your drive is not made to play dvds , only cds .

Hello sanhill665, try "Updating the Drivers"

Go to this "Website," and "Fill-in" or {Choose} any information needed to get the "Drivers" you need. Than you'll be able to "Download the Drivers."

!Attention: The 'Part No." is a "letter off. ie: "Yours= [R] Theirs = [V]. "I will say. its 'safe' to try!"

"Please let me know if you 'need' further assistance, or the 'solution' helped?

"By posting a 'Comment" or 'Rating' the solution.

Thank you; your 'response' is important to me!"

Hello.

First try a disk drive cleaner.

If still a problem, the only solution is to replace the drive.

Hope this helps.

hi no its only a CD RW, and not a CD/DVD-RW its just a CD writer and a dvd( rom )..read only memory which means it only reads dvd's but does not write them...hope this helps

It is only compatable for CD RW.
Not DVD RW.

I maybe find new combo in (impactcomputers.com) and I'm trying to get it.Thanks for Your care in my problem.

TEAC DW-224E-A DRIVER

Here's the newest driver for your burner. Go to Control Panel, then Device Manager, then click on the + symbol next to disk drives, and double click on the TEAC device. Click the Driver tab and press Update Driver, then choose the 'Let me find the driver' option, and navigate to the folder where you unzipped the file to. Double click and Install. Reboot.

For burning, I would recommend Nero, Alcohol 120% or ImgBurn.

Good luck and Season's Greetings!

The answer is what you profess. The drive can burn CD's, read CD's and also read DVD's. Everytime I try and burn a DVD I have an unrecognized drive and the properties always show no disk: The drive burns CD's ie;music, but cannot burn DVD it can only read DVD like you say!
