hi all,
My dvd burner TDK dvdrw0404n usb device (portable dvd burner) was working fine until last night. All of a sudden, now I can't get my DVD burner to recognize my blank dvd's. It says in "my computer" that my DVD burner is a cd burner. when no dvd is in the burner it shows the DVD icon. when I put in A DVD, it shows the icon as a cd, when clearly it is a dvd! it won't work in my sonic reel dvd software at all and gives me an error when I try to burn a dvd. what is up here? BTW, the burner works fine in my other computer, and I just burned some files to it on there, no problem, so I assume this has something to do with my computer here. I NEED it on this one though, as this is where I have all my editing work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 3MAN
here is some specs for my computer
