The brand name of the disc I am using is Maxell.

 

What the problem??

Hi and welcome to the forum, champdota!

 

The first device is a DVD reader and what the second one is something not known by Windows.

 

Can you check in Windows Device Manager what is listed under DVD/CD-ROM drivers? (Control panel ->System -> Device Manager)

 

[champdota]

Yes, I see it now what?

[Cynthia]

You see one item or two?

 

The maxell disc - is that a cd disc?

Its a DVD, is Maxell a good brand? Could it be the disc's problem? Its perfectly clean though.

You need a DVD burner in order to burn DVDs, and the drive you have is a CD burner and DVD reader, also known as a combo drive.

[champdota]

Hmm, how about this one on my other laptop.

 

 

DVD/CD-ROM Drives ->

TSSTcorp CDW/DVD TS-L462C

[mmalves]

That's also a combo drive

[Dialysis1]

That one is a DVD-Rom also.
