| I have a Liteon DVD Writer. I have been able to write to +/- R blank DVD's and CD's; but, about 2 or 3 weeks ago I cannot write to +/-R blank DVD's anymore. I can write to a blank CD though. When I put a blank CD in the drive, it shows as having 488mb total size and 488mb free space. When I put a blank DVD (+ or - R), it shows as having 0mb total size and 0mb of free space. When I use a burning software to burn, it recognizes that I have a writable disk in the drive and burns the DVD. When I put the disk back into the drive, it shows as having 0 mb. Also, when I first put my disk in the drive, windows does not show the window asking what I want to do anymore. I do not have any spyware/ virus (I did my scans). Does anyone know why this would all of a sudden happen? I did recently do a windows update. Did one of the security patches do something to my Drive? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. |

| I am using Ashampoo Burning Studio 9 and ImgBurn. I recently updated to Burning Studio 9 from 8. I cannot remember if this problem start right after I updated to version 9 or not. I think I was able to burn with 9 though. Wouldn't it have to do with window since in "My Computer" the drive with the writable DVD shows as having 0mb total size and 0mb of free space? As I said, a blank writable CD shows as having 488mb total size and 488mb of free space The burning software shows that the blank DVD as good to go and it burns the DVD. I have Nero Essentials that came with the writer; I will try burning with that and post what happens. Where do I get a log file? HijackThis? Thanks. |

Just a question. |
| After running Ad-Aware, MalwarBytes, SpyBot Search and Destroy and AVG Virus Scanner my CD/DVD writing software now recognizes my DVD Writer. I am able to write a DVD using Nero Essentials and ImgBurn. I still cannot write using the Burning Studio 9. I emailed their tech support and see what they say. If it doesn't work I will ask for my money back. Version 8 was a decent overall program (I didn't have any problem with it). Version 9 seems to be trouble. Thanks. |

| I have 3 months old Liteon iHAP422 and Nero Essential-7 which came with the drive. I have done several copies of DVDs in the last 3-4 months but since last two days after Nero essential makes an image on the HD and asks to insert a blank DVD it does not recognize the blank DVD and just waits. First I thought it is one DVD so I tried another old DVD which I had copied a month ago and that does the same thing. Could any one please help me what is wrong. Is it the drive or nero program. I if you want to know my operating system it is window XP |

Thanks RCV |
| I did the same thing but no luck. It still does not recognize blank dvd after creating an image on hard drive. Anybody please help us we need some help. I am sure there are experts who can help us to identify the problem and can give some solution. |
| No drive "can read" blanks, it would be futile nevertheless.
