Thx Lightning but somehow this problem got resolved after installing the new service pack, it somehow recognized my Dvd writer but still with a really weird label. But now when i insert a completely blank verbatim, it tells me the disc needs to be formatted. If I tell it to do so, it gives me a weird error. It says:
W 15:09:54 Potential 'WaitImmediateIO' Deferred Error - (0%, 0/5) - Unknown (ASC: 0x90, ASCQ: 0x92)
and searched the forum and theres only a solution for the PMA error.
heres the complete log.
