DVD burners and ISO programs...

[wol-va-rine]

I had a Pioneer IDE DVD burner and Power ISO on my system for a while with no problems, then my DVD burner stopped recognizing CDs all of a sudden one day, I tried everything and it just wouldn't recognize CDs period (I googled it and and there were some theories about virtual CD drives messing up the CD recognition on physical drives...?), so I bought a SATA DVD burner in the for sale section, I switched it out and put the Pioneer DVD burner in the kids' system (they don't burn anything, so it was just so I could load the Windows 7 disc) and now all of a sudden it recognizes CDs again (Power ISO is on that system as well)...



I guess it's pretty cool that there wasn't really anything wrong with it and it works now, but I'd still like to know what happened so if it happens again I know how to fix it...

any thoughts...?

If you want to make and burn ISO's, use IMGBurn or CDBurnerXP.

PowerISO.. old... and not free.
