MS MVP Question: DVD WriterDoes Not Recognize DVD Driver or Virus Problem?
While writing a single layer DVD (Iomagic 16x/ Double Layer drive) data
disk last week, Nero program stopped writing to the DVD. Space was tight at the time on my machine. Since then if I put in a DVD or CD, Win XP does not recognize that a disk is mounted. If I try to look at the disk with Win Explorer, there are no files listed. I worked with the drive manufacturer, Iomagic, they had me put in the Nero installation disk which came up fine, launched the installer and in Win Explorer I could see the files on the disk. That is the only disk I can read. DVD movies from the store and DVD/CD's that I have written don't work. Iomagic had me update the drive firmware and install ASPI layer (Don't know what this is?) These things didn't help. They gave up and told me to use a new copy of full strength Nero 6 to solve the problem. The drive has worked well for 9 months under Win XP. The problem came when I was writing a disk with Nero Express last week. It can't be a hardware problem I would imagine because the drive/software can read the Nero disk. Has a driver gotten clobbered and needs to be reinstalled or could I have a particularly mischievous virus in my machine? If I need to reload the DVD driver, how would I do that just that? Any help from a power user would be appreciated. Thanks in advance for any help you can give. Michael Carakatsane |
