Welcome to the forum

No little yellow exclamation marks or anything in Device Manager?

BTW, the drive being recognised as a DVD-RAM drive is normal, both my LGs are also recognised like that.

Also, have you tried an update of your Nero software?

Try downloading the free ImgBurn as well...see if that sees the drive properly.

No little exclamation points in device manager. upgraded nero to ver.9.. used dvd info pro trial version a few days ago ran fine once then gives "A major error has occured" message. ran virus scan and got nothing then ran spybot and nothing.. is running as a slave drive behind a removable bay..Do you think doing a repair of windows might help??
