No Writers Detected! Help


LeeWillis

Recommended Posts

So, i've searched awhile in this forum lately, im sure i didnt see anything about this. or at least i dont understand or misunderstood. I am apparently a noobie at this, so im going to ask you guys.

 

I've inserted a blank Dvd+r into IMGburn, it shows no writers detected, though its been working for the past few weeks. im not sure what happened, its on write, default settings, burning iso. files. So what do you think the problem is? i've tried different programs but didnt work aswel, so im guessing its my drive's problem?

mine is not called LITE-ON LTR-483275

 

Well... the top mine for mine is _NEC DVD+RW ND-2100AD

and the bottom one is ASUS CD-S480/AH

 

and btw, if i uninstall, after restarting, it installs itself right?

 

EDIT: well, both of them have the "!" on them, so does that also mean i have to uninstall both of them aswel, because i might as wel fix dvd and cd at the same time. :S

 

and im pretty sure im working with _NEC DVD+RW ND-2100AD to make imgburn start detecting my dvd correct?

I just used the LITE-ON as an example.

 

Yes, uninstall both and Windows will install them for you automatically after the restart.

 

The ! sign is clearly a sign that they are not installed right as it is now.

er... its the same after uninstalling and restarting computer, the 2 still have "!"

 

what do you recommend me to do right now, or how do i install it another way, because when i restarted my comp, it just says _NEC DVD+RW ND-2100AD and ASUS CD-S480/AH have been found

 

EDIT: getting a bit late on this side of the world, im going to go sleep. ill be back tomorrow in the morning checking on posts (: thanks again Cynthia

If you right click on one of your writers in the Windows Device Manager and select 'Properties' and then you should see an error code and a button - search for solutions.

 

It might be that you need to update the chipset drivers for the mother board.

 

Sleep well! :)

well, when i did the properties for _NEC DVD+RW ND-2100AD I got the error code of "Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)"that, im pretty sure its not installed. and for lightning UK! i actually dont know what your talking about, again im a newbie

 

though mmalves, i've checked, but when i clicked on device "cd/dvd-rom device" the version info. says everything in N/A.

im not sure what my mother board is, but i can tell you these info, im using a compaq computer, 3200+ AMA Athion xp professional, 512 MB PC2700 DDR SDRAM memory. well do you think its daemon tool, i was burning fine 2 weeks ago. I'm not going to do anything until i actually know what to do, since im no computer genius. i dont want to mess up my computer >.<

 

EDIT: LOL dont make fun of my ram, its 4 years old. Umm, i remember seeing my mother board, but i forgot what i type into RUN

The pfc entry looks odd. Normally it should look something like this:

 

Driver Name: pfc.sys

File Location: c:\windows\system32\drivers

File Description: Padus® ASPI Shell

File Version: 2, 5, 0, 204 [2.5.0.204]

Product Name: Padus® ASPI Shell

Product Version: 2, 5, 0, 204 [2.5.0.204]

Company Name: Padus, Inc.

So I would remove the pfc entry. The PxHelp20 is normally harmless.
