Have a dvd writer model LG GSA-H10A as an external USB drive and whenever I put a blank DVD-R disk in it reads it as if I put in a blank CD. A window pops asking me what I want to do for a blank cd (i.e create a cd with iTunes, windows media player etc.). I open my computer and it says CD Drive E: but the picture of the disk says DVD-R so it sees it in a way as the DVD-R. Then when I try to click the drive it says "E:\ is not accessible. Incorrect Function."

I can watch dvds, burn cds, and play cds from the drive. I updated the firmware also. I tried using different usb ports and same issue. I have had this dvd burner for about 3 yrs and it did work before but i hadnt used it in like a year and now it wont work.

I am running windows XP with all updates so far.
