No Writers Deteccted!

[kingsplayer2]

Hi, I recently have this problem where imgburn says no writers detected, I've tried all previous solutions mentioned by other threads but to no avail. Heres my log:

 

I 20:18:29 ImgBurn Version 2.5.0.0 started!

I 20:18:29 Microsoft Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600 : Service Pack 3)

I 20:18:29 Total Physical Memory: 3,013,476 KB - Available: 2,392,952 KB

W 20:18:29 SPTD can have a detrimental effect on drive performance.

I 20:18:29 Initialising SPTI...

I 20:18:29 Searching for SCSI / ATAPI devices...

I 20:18:29 Found 1 BD-ROM/HD DVD-ROM!

 

 

I have no clue what the problem is as imgburn always worked on this pc, kinda randomly came up.

Ok now I just found out my drive doesnt work at all, it doesnt read anything.

It should read factory disks, but won't write or burn

 

nevermind, you had another drive that died?

[kingsplayer2]

no, i dont think it died, in fact i have no idea what the problem is, it wont read anything but all the status's on device manager say its fine. perhaps it did die....

Are you sure the drive is in device manager? You have one drive but it's just a virtual one.

 

Check the cables to the drive and try removing the controller as per the DMA post in the FAQ.

I just tried doing that and i also tried uninstalling the scsi controllers because its a laptop and neither did the trick. Although when I uninstalled the scsi controller nothing showed up in my computer. I can't eject the drive either from there.
