LeeWillis Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 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?
Cynthia Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 Hi and welcome to the forum, LeeWillis! Can you see your writer(s) in Windows Device Manager? (The one in the control panel).
LeeWillis Posted February 7, 2009 Author Posted February 7, 2009 yes, i think its control panal>system>hardware>device manager and thank you(: whats the next step?
Cynthia Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 You could try to delete it in that window and then restart the computer and let Windows reinstall it. In the above example - right click on the LITE-ON LTR-483275 and select Uninstall.
LeeWillis Posted February 7, 2009 Author Posted February 7, 2009 (edited) 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? Edited February 7, 2009 by LeeWillis
Cynthia Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 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.
LeeWillis Posted February 7, 2009 Author Posted February 7, 2009 alright thanks cynthia, you helped a lot. time to restart comp (:
LeeWillis Posted February 7, 2009 Author Posted February 7, 2009 (edited) 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 Edited February 7, 2009 by LeeWillis
Cynthia Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 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!
LIGHTNING UK! Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 That or you've got an old version of DAEMON Tools installed and it's locking ATAPI.SYS preventing them from installing properly.
mmalves Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 I would also look at the Filter Driver Load Order (it's in the Tools menu of ImgBurn).
LeeWillis Posted February 7, 2009 Author Posted February 7, 2009 (edited) 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. Edited February 7, 2009 by LeeWillis
Cynthia Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 Do you have this program installed? If so - that could be the problem. http://www.daemon-tools.cc/home Do you know the model of your mother board that is inside the computer - or what model of computer you have?
LeeWillis Posted February 7, 2009 Author Posted February 7, 2009 (edited) 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 Edited February 7, 2009 by LeeWillis
Cynthia Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 Have you had Daemon Tools installed? You can install this program (free and harmless) to find out what motherboard/chipset drivers you have installed on your computer. http://www.gtopala.com/
mmalves Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 Use the Filter Driver Load Order tool to remove the upper and lower filters.
LeeWillis Posted February 7, 2009 Author Posted February 7, 2009 @cynthia, i checked my system info. OS Manufacturer: microsoft corporation System manufacturer: Compaq Presario 061 System model: PC136A-ABA SR1150NX NA430 System Type: X86-based PC @mmalves, so i have lower class filter, but no upper, so i just simply remove them?
Cynthia Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 Press the button 'Copy To Clipboard' and then post it in a posting window. Some filters can be good to have.

Cynthia Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 The pfc entry looks odd. Normally it should look something like this: Driver Name: pfc.sysFile 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.
Cynthia Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 You could take a look at Compaqs support pages, to see if there are later drivers to install. http://www.compaq.com/cpq-country/cpq_support.html
LeeWillis Posted February 7, 2009 Author Posted February 7, 2009 so what am i suppost to do now... it still cant detect my dvd i wonder why isnt my drive working... its getting a bit annoying since i've been trying to fix it for like a few days what do you recommend me to do. i tried uninstalling, daemon <-- i still dont know how that helps. umm and did that img filter thing.
LeeWillis Posted February 7, 2009 Author Posted February 7, 2009 (edited) Compaq Presario SR1150NX Desktop PC well, i just found my model >.< EDIT: btw, now there is a JARY 78L27W5 SCSI CdRom Device with "!" in the dvd/cd-rom drives section Edited February 7, 2009 by LeeWillis
Cynthia Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 Might be something that Daemon Tools installed. Never heard of it before.
LeeWillis Posted February 7, 2009 Author Posted February 7, 2009 yeah, probably, but its working now Cynthia, THANK YOU SOO MUCH!! I totally forgot about Compaq faq. Well, i hope we can chat some day, so i'll sure to be back some day to ask for help (:< Is there anyway i can give you credit for helping me?
