GET OFF AXLS BACK Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 What DVD program are you using E16 ?, all programs have different features that may be the problem.Its possible the settings on the program need to be changed to look for the actual burner, might be set to another non existent lettered drawer.Right click my computer and select propertiesSelect device managerFind the burning drawer then right click and select propertiesThis will let you check the device status and update the drivers if needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highvoltage Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 There are so many different things this could be, it's difficult to know where to begin. If you put in a DVD (try a movie), does your drive register that it's in there at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
