LightScribe dvd writer/burner does not

I have a PC HP Pavilion Media Center with windows 64 Bit the CDRom 8Pro OS, it works very well, but the dvd burner does not work. Massage appears asking me to put a cd in the unit, even if there is already in the drive.  Device Manager acknowledges the two discs and a convenience store can not detect potential failures. Information System also recognizes readers.  The names of drive information dvd writer the C:\windows\system32\drivers\cdrom.sys drive as my system is 64 bit, this could be the problem and if so, how do I fix it?

Sorry, but the last I knew the Lightscribe technology was not Compatible with Windows 8.0/8.1. I don't know of anyone who has managed to get this working. Hope this helps and if you need any additional aid station and we will be happy to help you.

  • HP CD - DVD Writer 840b does not DVD-DVD is full, even using a new DVD blank, said.

  • Satellite Pro A120: DVD/CD burner does not burn audio and video files

    Hello

    I have the Satellite Pro A120 with a cd/dvd burner MAT * a uj-8415. It works very well with data Brüning, but...

    When you try to burn the MP3 files or video files on DVD or CD/r or any type of audio file, it suddenly gives me an error message telling me that the cd can no longer be used.

    I tried hole Sonic (RecordNow), through Nero 6, and also directly by dragging and dropping files, but all was in vain. This MATI * a uj-8415 machine has also made the same error while burning a DVD double layer.

    Again, the unit reads all types of CD and DVD and writes also all types of files with the exception of the audio and video.

    Can you help me please to solve this problem?

    Hello

    I know that some mp3 files and audio are protected against copying and burning on different CDs or DVDs so could not work? ¦

    Other reasons why you can't write these files to CD or DVD is simply a problem of compatibility between the STRANGE and the CD or DVD.
    According to my experience, not all CD or DVD is supported, and these compatibility issues are not really rare.

    I also have another idea.
    Have you heard of burning of problems caused by the bad registry entry? I mean the upper and lower filters...

    Please check this doc MS:

  • My CD/DVD burner does not work after installing Windows 7.

    Hello.

    I recently installed Windows 7 on my laptop (about 2 weeks ago), initially delivered with Windows Vista.

    The facility is perfectly, and I enjoyed the simplicity of the new operating system.

    Everything was going well for about 2 weeks.

    I was able to burn CDs and DVDs.

    But today, when my father asked me to burn a CD for him, Windows Media Player 12 says that I had to connect a burner and restart Windows Media Player 12.

    I restarted the program, which did not work.

    I restarted my computer, that didn't work.

    I uninstalled my CD/DVD burner drivers and reinstalled them back on and I thought that WMP12 had started working.

    But when I put the blank disc inside my laptop and started the burn, my computer gave me a message there was an error in burning the disc, and I had to close WMP12.

    When I got the farm, WMP12 and then tells me to connect a burner and restart the program.

    After that, I looked for the drivers online set to level, or to the bottom of the slope to.

    But none of them worked.

    After that, I talked with a HP technician who told me that it is better to stick to the pre-installed operating system that comes with a computer and not downgrade or upgrade manually.

    She also said that because my computer was made for Windows Vista, it was the compatible operating system for my internal hardware.

    It gives me no drivers or anything to install.

    I should have come to Microsoft first, because now I realize that HP has nothing to do with Windows 7.

    If Microsoft, I ask you:

    When you install Windows 7 on an original Windows Vista laptop and that your CD/DVD writer works for about a week, then it stops working...

    What should I do next to fix this? :(

    Please help ~!

    Hey Kyo - San,

    Given that the troubleshooter could not see the CD DVD drive, you can try to navigate to the following location in the registry editor and deleted the upper filter and lower filter keys and check if it helps you get the job of CD DVD player.

    1. click on Startand then click all programs.

    2. in the start menu search box type regeditand press ENTER. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow.

    3. in the navigation pane, locate and then click the following registry subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

    4. in the right pane, look for UpperFilters and UpperFilter key and select it.
    Note You can also see an UpperFilters.bak registry entry. You don't have to delete this entry. Click UpperFilters . If you do not see the UpperFilters registry entry, you may still have to delete the LowerFilters registry entry.

    5. on the Edit menu, click delete.

    6. When you are prompted to confirm the deletion, click Yes.

    7. exit the registry editor.

    8 restart the computer.

    Note: Sometimes, this problem is due to two Windows that have been corrupted registry entries. To resolve this problem, you must use the registry editor to delete the corrupted registry entries.

    However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

    For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, follow these steps in the KB Article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322756/

    Cd-writer/DVD disc tray does not open when you press the Open button, or when you use the buttons to control the media on the keyboard. How can I restore it to its operating state?

    Hi John,.

    Please let me know exactly what happened when you tried my suggestions of first and second.

    Of your most recent post, looks like you're watching the wrong part of the Device Manager. Optical drive is listed under "readers of CD-ROM/DVD-ROM". The info you gave appear under "drives". If the drive is not listed under "readers of CD-ROM/DVD-ROM" or there is no such section in Device Manager, then Windows do not see. If windows can't see it then this means that there is no power or that the drive is broken.

    When you pushed the drive back in, the player no longer has much of the book or did you have to push all the way. If the latter, it means that the drive has no power or is broken.

    With respect to the opening of the case, I guess I should ask first if it's a laptop or desktop?

    2. you remember to make changes to the computer recently?

    This can occur when more than one service is defined for a device, if there is a failure at the opening of the service registry entry, or if the driver name cannot be obtained from the service registry entry.

    Thank you very much!   At your suggestion, I've selected out, burn to disc, DVD.  A window shows requiring Save have *.wmv.  OK, reluctantly saves.  Automatically opens first.  Preview has no audio.

    Instead of burning to disc, I chose Edit in first.  The preview has the video and audio.  Engraving option asked under wmv.  BUT by selecting the tab burn, then disc, dvd, part took place smoothly and dvd resulting contains actually the audio and the video.  Yes!

    She should not be incompatible and hard, but I could never have succeeded without help.

  • Double layer DVD burning does not

    The double-layer DVD burning does not work on my XPS420 w/vista.  The drive reads everything good and burns only 4.7 GB very well.  When you try to burn to a disc double layer blank he Burns half of the project (probably a layer), and then gives me an error message.  This happened with two different software.  Once with Roxio 10.1 included with the system and once with DVD Shrink.  I use an ISO image file appropriate.  My Player recognizes a disc blank double layer with 8 GB of free space.  During the burning process is when all else fails.  I downloaded the update of the firmware as well.  My thought is that it may be a media problem.  I virgins, disc double layer 8.5 GB DVD + R DL.  It's a brand off I've not heard of, but that was all that was available at the store.  It is a toshiba player, not sure of the model number.  16xRW +-.  Note: the front of the drive said no DL.  If all goes well they installed the correct drive.

    any thoughts?

    Thank you.
