Hello,
I'm calling on the IT pros!!!
Three weeks ago, I was able to burn audio CDs and DVDs without any problems.
Now, and only for CDs (there is still no problem with DVD burning), it indicates that I need to insert a writable disc into the drive even though I have already put one in. I tried two brands to see if it was a disc defect, but neither is recognized whereas I had no issues with these types of discs before (CD-R80 TDK and Verbatim).
Is there something I should uninstall on my computer???
Can you help me?
Thank you in advance
Fanny

Hi, I think I found the solution.
If it's a "High Speed CD RW" that you want to burn, check if your CD drive has the "High Speed CD ReWritable" logo.
If it doesn't have it, your CD is simply not compatible, it will not be detected.
So you need to buy another one that doesn't have this logo.
I hope I helped you.
See you later.

Hello Sahou
CD/DVD reader/burner: no longer reads, not recognized, ....

look for the keys "UpperFilters" and "LowerFilters"
in the registry
Start menu/Run
type "regedit" and Enter
"Edit/Search" tab
type "lowerfilters" and Enter
to continue the search, press "F3"
and delete everything you can delete
then do the same search with "upperfilters"
you will find exactly what you can delete
if there is a modem on USB port (Cibox or Neuf Box), unplug it before restarting

Thank you for your quick response...
I would like to uninstall the drive but when I bought my laptop last year, there were no drivers on a separate CD-ROM. I was told that it was normal. Do you have any idea? Especially since I have no idea what the brand of the burner is as I only found some symbols for the hardware (HL-DT-ST DVD+RW GCA 4040N).
Otherwise, I tried with Windows Movie Player and Nero, and for blank DVDs, it works fine but the recognition of blank CDs is not happening.
Anyway, thank you for your help.
See you later,

Try updating the burner on the site:
www.drvupdate.com
You can find quite a few drivers for combo DVD burners/readers there
Happy searching

I have an HP laptop with the same problem.
I bought Sony DVDs that are not recognized (DVD-R x8), but I have no problem with a Verbatim DVD marked DVD+R x4.
I haven't attempted reinstallation because if it works with certain DVDs, the functioning is not the issue...
See you!
Your DVD burner does + and -?
See you later
