    Blank DVD+R Not Showing Up, Possibly Crashing


    Hey there. This problem has been bugging me for quite some time now...

    I recently bought blank DVD+R discs so I could burn an ISO for a school project. At first, I THOUGHT they would work right away. Opened my optical drive, put the disk in and closed it. The instant it closed I got the dreaded "Your PC has encountered a problem" screen (blue screen of death). It showed for a few seconds, then my monitor showed some funky colours, and it turned off. I turned my PC back on (note that the disk is still inside) and it logged in just fine. I looked in "This PC" and both of my optical drives showed up........ empty. I double clicked the one the disc was in, but it said "please insert a disc into this drive". I have ABSOLUTELY no idea why this would happen! My hardware is below; so far I have tried:

    - Shutting down, turning on.
    - Restart.
    - Disabling both drives.
    - Trying a different disc.
    - Uninstalling drives.
    - Swapping SATA cables.
    - A registry key in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\atapi\Controller0 (Controller0 was a creation Microsoft recommended)
    - Enabling "Shell Hardware Detection" in Services

    I am about to give up with this. PLEASE help me out! Here is my hardware:
    - Intel Core 2 Duo E6550 2.33GHz
    - 8GB RAM
    - Optical Drives (I have 2): ASUS DVD-E616A3T ATA

    Thanks in advance for any help *Smile

    EDIT: the discs are Verbatim DVD+R (NOT DVD-R)

    :)

    Problem with write or even recognize DVD-R DL(Verbatim) via Matshita DVD-RAM UJE81

    Hello, i have a problem with writing on DVD-R DL via my dvd drive "Matshita DVD-RAM UJE81"... As its written in description, it should be possible to write on DVD-R DL . When I put DVD-R DL in drive
    , it makes some noise as its doing something but nothing will happen. Drive is still showing that nothing is in it even it is. Any ideas how to fix this? I hope that i found correct information and it is really possible to write on DVD-R DL with this drive.
    The number of driver is 10.0.10240.16384, created in 21.6.2006 by Microsoft. Thanks for your suggestions.

    Hi, some questions to clarify if I may..
    1. Do your DVD drives work with recorded disks?
    2. Do you have autoplay enabled and working?
    3. Please go here (Control Panel, Autoplay)
