Problem with my DVD RW

[sewerat]

Hello everyone, first time posting here
I have an LG DVD-RW (in devmgmt it says HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-H12N) and since i had some virusses on my PC and cleaned it(with AVG in safe mode), it stopped working as a burner. It can read any CD/DVDs but Nero and other burning software, including winXP's one, won't let me burn any more CD/DVDs.
I googled its name but results weren't too helpful, maybe because im not too good on this side.
Can anyone help me please? i need to backup my datas and i'm thinking of reinstalling the OS after that.

Give Imgburn a go it's much better than Nero and it's free.

If you still have problems after that , try uninstalling the DVD drive in devmgmt and then reboot windows. It will then reinstall the drivers.

Other software...

Hi there

It might be worth buying or downloading new software, I'd recommend using: DVD Suite which can let you down many different things.

I hope this helps
