Connor.S New Member Jun 14, 2008 #1 So I have a perfectly good DVD drive in my comp. I can burn dvds with no problem. But when I want to burn a cd with windows media player it doesnt detect that theres a drive.. Will it just not work because its a DVD bruner or what?

voyagerfan99 Master of Turning Things Off and Back On Again Staff member Jun 14, 2008 #2 That may be the problem. It has to be a CD/DVD-r combo in order to burn both. Have you burned CD's with the drive in the past?

Connor.S New Member Jun 17, 2008 #4 So I have the Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-111D drive. Says it can burn CD's as well as DVD's.. Anyone have any suggestions on why Wmp doesnt detect the drive?

Ethan3.14159 Active Member Jun 17, 2008 #5 ive had the problem before, it actually could be from cheap cd's or dvd's like memorex. if its not that then the laser could be weakening.

Connor.S New Member Jun 17, 2008 #6 Well its not the cd's. Its Wmp itself that does not recognize the drive, as if theres no drive in my computer.. It says "Connect a burner and restart the Player"

Ethan3.14159 Active Member Jun 17, 2008 #7 could be a driver problem, do you have issues with it outside of WMP?
Connor.S New Member Jun 17, 2008 #8 Nope. No issues at all. I can burn Dvd's just fine with a different program. I tried to update the drivers but im up to date with them all.
