oh my god help me fix this

[armpitlice]

the computer was being an ass so i had to do a system restore thing (viruses and whatnot). now that my computer was crystal clean with evil stuff, it now has problems with the burner, an sd-r5002.

it reads cds, but it wont write on cds or dvds anymore. it wont read dvds either (some decoder problem). i need serious help man. i wanna watch scarface. wink

1. If im not mistaken the sd-r5002 is a DVDROM -- not a burner drive which would explain the lack of burning support. Regardless, here are the drivers: http://www.toshiba-europe.com/stora...pe=product&ptype=&frame=content&model=SDR5002

2 How are you trying to burn? (i.e. what burning program?)

http://www.digit-life.com/articles2/toshiba-sd-r5002/ <--- you have this drive right? it should burn cd's...your sure you have all the drivers installed and all updates and stuff right?

Bad call on the DVDROM ...
1. Make sure you have that latest driver (same link i gave above)
2. How are you burning the cds? (what application or something like IMAPI)?

 

[armpitlice]

i have the latest driver and everything
i can only burn cds now with the standard microsoft way
nero doesnt seem to find it in the recorder list

1. The drive could have toasted itself, happens all the time on low/medium quality drives
2. Try updating the IMAPI? (if you have SP1a or better than you have the update im pretty sure).
3. Visit (IMAPI) http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;320174 (General) http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;324129 for some ideas
4. Latest version of nero?

Nero doesn't pick up my DVD Combo drive, so when I burn cd's I have to use the normal windows burning wizard

 

[kof2000]

are you using the latest nero edition? as i remember it doesnt support dvd burning till like around late version 5-6.

 

[Praetor]

Nero supported DVD burning for a long time so i suspect that shouldnt be a problem

When you did your system restore, might you have restored to a point where the NERO that you have installed isn't the version that allows burning. Do a NERO reinstall and see if that solves your problems.
