Hi!, I have a Benq DW 1640 since a couple of years, I never had a major problem with it but as I was burning a DVD yesterday using Nero 7, I noticed the burning process was too slow for a 8X speed, when it completed the DVD won´t recognize the burned DVD as DVD but in the Drive directory it says CD and there´s nothing in it, I tried to use another recordable DVD and this time i checked that even without burning the directory of the DVD burner recognizes the DVDR as CD changing to "Drive CD (F: )" instead of DVDRW, Whats wrong?? is my Burner broken or what? Someone knows what could be happening?? Thanks I appreciate any advice

Nothing is wrong with windows saying the blank DVD inserted is a CD... Its a bug, there is no fix and it does not affect anything, its purely cosmetic.

As for the slow speed, check that you have DMA enabled on the burner. Also check that your drive can read CD's and DVD's.
