• DVD burner does not recognize blank DVDs, but will recognize blank CD?

  I read through several similar messages, but none seem to have a solution to my problem.  I'm NOT very technically savvy, so this is as much I know:

  I have a Dimension E310

  It was supposed to come with a cd burner and a dvd burner combo.

  The reader says DVD R/RW RW DVD rewritable Compact Disk its Ultra Speed

  I was able to successfully burn CDs from itunes, but have not been able to burn any kind of video file.  In fact, when I insert a blank dvd in the drive, the computer does not recognize that everything is there.

  As I said, I'm not the person most computer savvy in the world.  I know how to work with my applications, but I know little about the way in which a computer is set up, so I apologize in advance if my question is ignorant, but I appreciate any help you can give.  Thank you in advance.

• DVD burner does not recognize blank DVD

  I had a TOSHIBA laptop since April, and since I got it, I have not discovered how to burn DVDs on this topic.

  The reader certainly said DVD + RW rewritable, so do I haveto format the disk or something?

  Any help would be great

  see you soon,

• DVD burner does not recognize blank disc

  I am trying to burn a dvd - r with imgburn but the dvd player shows the dvd - r disc that I inserted is not empty, when it is.  I don't know that it is a software problem.  Any solution to this problem?

• External CD drive does not recognize the CD burned on El Capitan.

  Using El Capitan 10.11.5 and an external hard drive, I have burned successfully mp3 files iTunes CD - I can play on the computer itself - but an external CD drive does not recognize, even if the Player recognizes the discs once engraved on Snow Leopard and previous models.  What's wrong? I burn "at the fastest possible speed," as I have always done.

  What CD format?  If you burn it to a CD mp3 this is not very common for a standard CD player to be able to read those.  You may have burnt the other CD audio CD format.

• Laptop does not recognize blank CD/DVDs

  Hello

  I just bought a Dell Precision M2800 (early 2014).

  I can read DVDs and CDs normally but I when I put a CD or blank DVD to burn it, it does not recognize it and says 'Please insert a disc into the DVD drive. I tried many solutions of this forum, but none of them worked for me. I tried burning CDs and DVDs even in other laptops and they have worked perfectly.

  Please tell me what I can do.

  As you have already understood, you have a CD-ROM drive (read-only) and is unable to burn discs. You do not have the option to replace this drive with a DVD - RW drive that will burn the discs.

• Carpet * a DVD-RAM UJ-820 s does not recognize blank DVDs

  My laptop recently stopped recognizing blank, or I burned when I put them in the DVD player.
  The drive is a CARPET * a DVD-RAM UJ-820 s and it was working fine until last week when I tried to use the ASHAMPOO Burning software.

  He does not even recognize any MOVIE DVD I put in the drive, but it doesn't seem to have a problem with a music CD, I tried.

  Someone to help they could offer cause I'm running out of space and I really want to delete my files.

  Thank you

  Hello

  It looks a bit like a malfunction of the equipment. Maybe the lens of the drive can not calibrate correctly.

  Another clue;
  Have you tried to delete the upper and lower filter registry entries?
  Try it. Sometimes such procedure can simply bring the reader to life.

  The detailed procedure and description has been published here in the article Microsoft Knowledge base:

• Reader SuperDrive does not recognize blank DVD

  Have recently upgraded to El Capitan. Since then, I tried to export photos on the drive to put in stock and my DVD burner in my iMac 12.1 will recognize is no longer the DVD when entered into the burner. What is happening now is that the DVD is sitting there for a few moments and then is ejected. It's almost as if the DVD recorder is headed south. Don't know what to do from here, because it reads the CD and DVD normally and also formats and burn the CD. Just DVDs. and I have tried 1/2 dozen of them does not.

  Try resetting the SMC reset management system (SCM) controller on your Mac - Apple Support

  and the NVRAM How to reset NVRAM on your Mac - Apple Support

  Try a different brand of DVD.

  But as the CDs and DVDs use different lasers inside the car it is not uncommon for a failure and the other to work again.

• Reads music CDs, but does not recognize blank CD - r

  I have long used Nero or Roxio to burn some CD - Rs without problem. I recently tried to install Exact Audio Copy (EAC), which has worked flawlessly for years on my old computer, but all attempts to plant resulted in the Blue Screen Of Death, so I uninstalled it. I can still play music CDs, but none of the burning (Nero, Roxio, Windows Media Center) programs recognize blank CD - r (and Yes, I always use the same type and brand of CD - R). I also tried the Microsoft Fix It solution center, who acknowledged the problem but no solution offered. Any suggestions?

  Hello

  1. is this Microsoft fix it tool display error message associated with CD/DVD not getting not recognized?

  You can follow the steps below and check if that helps you solve the problem.

  You can temporarily try to remove or uninstall the writing software CD or DVD of third party such as Nero or Roxio installed on the computer and check if you are able to access the CD / DVD. If it works fine, you may need to contact the manufacturer of the software to check if you need to make changes to write to DVD.

  If you have Norton Installed on the computer, you can try disabling the software Norton temporarily to see if it solves the problem. Subsequently reactivate after verification.

  If the previous step fails, then check the condition of the disc on the computer using Manager devices and post back with the details.

  Also check the updated drivers available for the DVD player by visiting the website of the automaker.

  Open the Device Manager

• DVD burner does not recognize a DVD + RW

  I recently bought a DVD burner, after getting advice from Dell, to replace the original equipped DVD ROM (?) in my Dell Dimension 4500, so that I could record my video movies on DVD discs.

  The DVD burner, I was recommended is the ASUS DRW - 2014L 1 and this was provided by one of the "registered partners" from Dell. Unfortunately, this "Registered Partner" was useless, aggressive & dismissive to all after sales help or advice, where my request on this forum for assistance or advice.

  I had no trouble to record my videos on blank DVDs DVD - RW drives, but when you try to use DVD + RW discs (to use in my Sony Home DVD drive), the drive will not recognize them. Both the + RW & - RW discs are brand new Maxell disks, the RW - 1-2 x speed, single-sided 4.7 GB & the + RW 1-4 x speed, single-sided 4.7 GB.

  When there is no record of any type in the DVD drive, it shows in my computer as: DVD - RAM Drive (D). When a DVD - RW disc is inserted it changes to: CD Drive (D) with an icon of DVD - RW & this is also confirmed when I check on the properties.

  However, when you insert a DVD + RW and the DVD - RAM Drive (D) going to Drive (D) CD, as with the DVD - RW, no icon is displayed to indicate the drive is recognized, or it appears in the properties.

  As far as I can determine from the card, the ASUS DRW - 2014 L 1 is designed for both + & - DVD.

  I'd appreciate any help or advice... or am I just dumb?

  Thank you

  Tony
