My CD/DVD drive works just fine BUT when I put it a blank "Verbatim" CD to burn songs the drive just disappears. If I take out the CD and restart the PC the CD drive reapers again! How do I fix this? It's driving me crazy.:confused:

I'm able to rip a CD, but not burn one.

I uninstalled the CD drive and reinstalled it, it shows up under device manager but again when I go to burn a CD it disappears!

I was able to burn one CD but now the drive has disappeared again.

Drive is dead.


It happens.

OR it could be the upper filter registry keys are screwed up for the drive. Removing and reinstalling the drive normally does not fix this.

OP - what version of Windows are you running?
 
Windows 7 Home Edition
Service Pack 1

I already looked in

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}"

and there aren't even any upper and lower filter registry keys to delete!
 
What program are you using to burn discs?

Have you tried installing the latest chipset drivers as well as the latest SATA drivers for your computer?
