TSST Corp DVD-Rom SH-D163b

[pops69]

I just installed a new Samsung D163b dvd drive that has already been flashed with the proper upgrade

 

I'm running vista and the systems reports the drive is installed and working fine with the latest drivers

 

i'm able to put cd and dvd into this drive and the systems reads the drive fine

 

but when i start Img Burn it reports

 

Destination

 

No Writers Detected! and i cant select any drives with the drop down arrow, and at the bottome of the screen it also says

 

No Writers Detected!

 

I had other burn software installed and figure that they might all conflict with each other so i removed them all and only Img Burn is current installed

 

any other tests or things i need to do to set the software up properly

 

many thanks

It's a DVD-ROM drive, it can't write discs.

if you just bought it, take it back and swap it for a dvd burner

You bought it I pressume to read xbox 360 games as thats one of the drives that can be flashed to do so. It cannot write disc's though.

lol, i see what i did wrong. i took out the dvd burner from my computer and installed another dvd reader, the new one was to read the 360 disks and create an iso to my hd so that i could burn them

 

reinstalled the burner and going to see if i make a coaster

 

tks for your help, hopefully making progress, slowly but in jerks

 

tks again

To maximise success, make sure you tick complete backup, set the book type to DVD-ROM if your drive allows it Pioneer 111,112,115 auto do this, Liteon drives select from book icon in ImgBurn and make sure you use Verbatim made in Singapore DL+ @2.4x @4X on samsungs latest writers.
