hi, i wonder if any of you techies can help me. i have a toshiba satellite 5200-903d winxp sp2, and now when i insert a blank dvd, it shows up as a full cdrom in my computer. i used to use dvdshrink/nero and had no problem burning dvds,still using the same media. now it appears to go through the motions of burning, but still left with a blank dvd. any help will be appreciated
thanks in advance. bob
 
I have a similar problem with my LG dvd burner, in that i can't burn dvds anymore. I think it may be your dvd burner that's gone... that's the case with mine.
 
1. Indeed make sure they are -R discs cuz your burner wont recognize +R
2. What's the make and model of the drive? (also, note the firmware revision)
3. What burning software are you using? (cuz it SHOULD be showing up as a blank/full CD in windows explorer)

To determine the make and model as well as a host of information about your optical drives, a free program called InfoTools can do the trick. Start it up and under the Drive tab, it will list all the relevant specifications and capabilities of your burner. The actual name of your burner is listed in the drop-down box at the top (those numbers before the name of your burner are important too!). You can get InfoTools from http://www.cd-rw.org/software/cdr_software/cdr_tools/nero_info_tool.cfm
