Im Tim and I am having issues with my liteon burner

I bout this for my dell optiples sx260 with windows xp. I hooked it up using a adapter i purchased its a usb to ide, with power supply connector. It will read all cd\'s that have written data and dvd\'s with written data but it wont read blank cd\'s or dvds. I make alot of movies and need this to work. I sent it back to newegg and got a replacement and it still does the same. I updated firmware, hotfix and changed around the jumpers. Anybody have any ideas what is wrong with this? maybe because of the adapter?

Thanks much

Internal or external drive? I’ve never heard of a USB to IDE converter.

What software are you using? Have you tried different software? Try ImgBurn.

USB to IDE must be some kind of external case for your burner.
