Craigw Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 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!

dontasciime Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 How is this drive connected hardware wise ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewy Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craigw Posted September 20, 2007 Author Share Posted September 20, 2007 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontasciime Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 What it could be then is down to your installation / chipset / ide controller drivers. Or a broken drive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lfcrule1972 Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 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 ?
