Vista detect disc as blank

[bm23]

vista detects all my disc as blank. so whenever i click on the disc drive, it would start the burning process. selecting "explore" gives the same result. however, everything is fine in my XP partition. please help.

theres a guy with the same problem here and he found a fix you could probably try.

I managed to fix the problem.

This is how I did: Appearing that the problem became after the Autorun
setting was changed, I set it back to 1, where it was 0, in the key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentCÂ*ontrolSet\Services\CDRom
Autorun

I apparently fixed the issue, given that now I can insert CDs and read them,
witho
ut being prompted for formating. But the damn desktop.ini still is created
there. I think that's windows default and static behavior, and we won't be
able to get rid of it (at least I don't know how, because I already disable
everything related to thumnails of preferences remembering). But how it's now
causing any trouble for now, lets leave it there.


Another thing I saw around was people deleting their devices (cd-rom), and
leting windows detect and install it again, it managed to solve the issues
for them.

But I think that the first workaround will solve you issue in the Win Vista
Home as well.

Good luck!

just found the solution. for those who encounter this problem, do this. Go to device manager, find your cd/dvd drive, uninstall the driver. vista will prompt you to restart your com. do that. once you've restarted, vista would automatically detect your disc drive and install the driver.
