Title: CD burner suddenly won't burn, not recognized?
Post by: Hopper073 on May 18, 2008, 04:50:23 PM

I've suddenly encountered this problem.  My CD burner ASUS CRW-4832AS  just doesn't appear as a burner anymore?   It will still play CD's load games, etc, but when I try to burn I was getting an error.  When I tried to use Windows Media Player instead of my usual program, it told me I do not have any burner available.   Any ideas as to where I can start looking for the problem?  I did have a virus that you helped me with last week, but I think even before that, I would occasionally get an error burning the CD, but next time it would work, so it may have been glitching previously.  


Thanks for any help!
