when i use alcohol it works fine when im burning iso to dvd, but when i use nero and copy on the fly it recognises the drive as only a cd drive.

ive tried re installing nero and a later dated nero, tried diff media, uninstalled dvdrw then rebooted and installed and so on

so basically my DVD-Rw Drive is now a CD-Rw Drive so it wont recognise dvds

any ideas

thanks inadvance

Uninstalling Alcohol might be something to try, as virtual drive software can sometimes cause a problem.

What is "it" here?
Your drive cannot just change from a dvd-rw to a cd-rw, it is impossible.

If you are referring to the way windows explorer shows the drive, don't worry: it's only a cosmetic bug of windows, nothing to worry about

Sorry, I don't understand: are you referring to the way windows explorer shows the drive or are you saying that you have problems with DVD media on your burner?

A question: Do the source drive and the destination drive are installed in the same IDE channel?
