DVD Drive Disapearing

[Craigw]

Does anyone know why my dvd writer disapears when I start Imgburn? Its there in My Computer until I open ImgBurn, then it disapears and cannot even be found in the device manager?

 

thanx for your help on my other thread, it was disc choice that was my problem!

How is this drive connected hardware wise ?

I did a strange test, I had a dvd I had burned with Imgburn earlier, I had imgburn read the disk and start writting an iso, after it got started I opened my computer and clicked on the drive and disk, which starts power dvd, it started playing after a small lag and imgburn was reading away, I cancelled both since it was only a test. Only possible scenario and a crazy one at that.

 

During a burn the drive would be locked, or let's hope so.

I'm just using the dvd writer in my laptop, not sure how its hooked up inside?

 

I know a couple of other people who have had problems with VISTA and ImgBurn and disaperaing drives?

 

What could it be?

Must be a small world if you know of a couple of people with the issue and I've never heard of it before - and I'm the author of the program / run the support forum!

What it could be then is down to your installation / chipset / ide controller drivers.

 

Or a broken drive

Is it definitely a DVD writer and not a DVD Rom in your laptop ? Simply put, that would appear in your windows explorer but not in ImgBurn if you are trying to write an image.

 

For giggles change the mode in ImgBurn to "read", does the DVD drive appear then ?

It's def a dvd writer he has lfc from his other post
