Pavilion 6000: cannot burn pictures on a DVD + RW on my hp Pavilion 6000 (drive is hp DVD A DH16A BLH)

I can not burn pictures on a DVD + RW. I use Verbatim DVD + RW discs. When I try to burn photos, I get the message "Please insert a recordable/writable disc". I can burn photos to a CD, but I want too much DVDs!

Help, please! I am not technically minded so please keep this in mind when replying

Across the Atlantic, it seems that way. If you put in a DVD movie is the little icon for the disc switch to reflect the title of the movie? The test would be if you can boot from a bootable DVD as a Windows 7 install disc or any other bootable DVD. We strive to rule out hardware vs software and if the DVD player works before Windows starts so the problem are software and a replacement of the drive will not help. If she can't boot from it, then it's a hardware problem. It is not the upper and lower part thing of filter, you can fix with the automatic setting of Microsoft or it wouldn't work for the CD, either.

You can also try a disc cleaner for the lens that you can buy at any store that sells a lot of DVD movies.

So before you buy the replacement, try my suggestion above, if you can. In the contrary case, it sure looks like material.

    The objective must be calibrated before using the media. Each media need to another status to calibrate. If this calibration doesn t work properly the drive cannot read or write media.
    Well, in this case there are not a lot to do.
    The drive needs to be replaced.

    But have you checked if the engraving option has been enabled on the drive? If this isn't the case, in order to check it out.

    Hello

    Are you trying to copy disk protected from copyright?
    Maybe this is not possible due to some restrictions
    If not, you should check to see if an update of the firmware of the player is
    If it is available, then you should find it on the European driver Toshiba page.

    Last but not least if may be a hardware problem, but the ASP must be contacted as a last resort. I mean in the majority of cases, the CDs and DVDs used is responsible for these issues
    I had this problem too and able to solve using another brand I m now with TDK-R discs

    DVD R disk problem

    I have a DVD R disc with photos of holidays on it. Yesterday, I was able to open and view the photos above, but now it won't let me. The computer recognizes that 2.14 GB of space is free to 4.38 GB, but it gives me this option is to burn more files/folders to disc and the disc name no longer appears. Just before I closed my computer yesterday my screen rotated 90 degrees, so I wonder if I pressed inadvertently on something that has also affected the disc? Can anyone help?

  • Cannot burn files to CD/DVD more? (Windows 7)

    This problem is everywhere on the internet but I have yet to see a solution that is tailored for someone else to do a system restore that is not an option. I burned the files on my internal drive by dragging and dropping them in the folder to the blank disc, then click on burn. A few months ago I went through the process as usual (insert a blank disc, he asks what I want to do and I choose to burn cd, it opens the folder to the blank disc) but when I went to drag and drop the files in the folder to the blank disc, nothing happened. I dragged and when I released in fall, they do not appear in the burn list.

    (1) I tried to use Windows Media Player instead, and I couldn't also do drag or drop files in the burn list here.
    (2) I tried selecting the files, then click on burn instead of drag, and they still do not appear in the burn list.
    (3) I got our admin check user for burning strategies and burning has been activated. We disabled and then enabled again just in case and still no difference.
    (4) I have not download or install something new on the computer or bring other changes to this computer before what is happening and neither did my admin, there may be something that we did it. The only changes that the computer would be crossed before that happens are automatic updates of windows.
    (5) it is not the disks. It does not work with the same discs I have always used so I tried six different other, different brands, and the behavior is the same only they are all burned fine on other computers. It also does not matter if I am on CD or DVD.
    (6) it is not the drive. When my admin logged into his account on my computer, he was able to drag and drop and burn as usual it seems there is something to do with my profile specifically.
    Any suggestions?

    It doesn't sound good.
    I had a similar problem of combustion and the end of the story, I replaced the drive ;(
    However, try to remove the drive from Device Manager, and then again to restart the operating system should recognize the device again.
    Then you could check if it able to burn the DVD s s.
    I think you should also try burning different DVD media.

    I have visited many work sites and the reader, and especially the calibration lens malfunction could be responsible for burning problems.
    This could be a worst case and in this case, the replacement is necessary.
