Windows 10: "A Disc Burner Wasn't Found" Error when trying to burn image to disk

Hello, I am trying to burn a .iso file onto a disk, however, whenever I try doing so (using isoburn.exe), I am greeted with the error message "A disc burner wasn't found. Make sure that a burner is installed properly, and you have the appropriate permissions to burn a disc." In device manager, I can see that I have a DVD/ROM Driver (Microsoft Virtual DVD-ROM) which I have uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times, to no avail. I have also tried using other disc burning applications such as ImgBurn, which also gives me an error, something about no writer available. I have also tried to delete the upper and lower registry in regedit, but those weren't even there when I looked. I also have permissions to use the burner, as my account has administrator on the computer. I'm not really sure what to do at this point, any help would be much appreciated.

Disc burner wasn't found.

Hi,

Just for clarification, are you pertaining to Windows Disc Image Burner? If not, could you tell us what application are you using to burn the ISO file?


For initial troubleshooting, we suggest that you perform DISM by following the steps
here, then try to burn again the ISO file.


Kindly update us on the result.

 

Burning photos to a CD Disc

Hi Jimmy,

We suggest that you use Windows Media Player to burn the images. Please follow the steps below:

• Open Windows Media Player.
• In the Player Library > Burn tab > select
  Burn options.
• Choose Audio CD or Data CD or DVD.
• Insert a blank disc into your CD or DVD burner. (Select the drive you want to use if your PC has more than one CD or DVD drive)
• Search for the items in your Player Library that you want to burn to the disc, and then drag them to the list pane (on the right side of the Player Library) to create a burn list.
• When you're finished with the list, select Start burn.

Note: If necessary, click the Clear list button to remove all items from the previous burn list.

Let us know how it goes.

 

Problem burning Windows ISO file to DVD-R with Nero and IMGBURN

Thanks for that. I have come to the conclusion that what you are saying about the burner having problems is correct as it is 9 years old.

I have today ordered a new burner with a higher specification.
