Hello, I have an Asus DRW-1608P2 DVD combo drive. I am able to play and burn movies, but can not write data to it. When I click on D: it say total bytes 0 total space 0 (full) when i put a blank dvd-r into the drive. The drive is recognized in device manager and is working properly and with no error messages. Can burn and write to cd-r media fine.


Windows XP Home,P4 2.6c northwood,1024 MB Geil Ultra,BFG 6600 GT 600/1500.
 
Most likely the drive is shot. I had a drive that did the same thing to me and had to RMA it. You could try uninstalling the drive from device manager, or try flashing the firmware on the drive with the newest one from Asus.
 
Is it just one particular type/brand of disc? It may be a defective disc or a brand that's not "friendly" with the drive you have.
