DVD-RW drive is saying it is a CD-R
« on: January 07, 2007, 11:06:22 PM »
After i reinstalled windows, my new Lite-On DVDRW SHW-160P6S is saying its a CD-R.

I have updated it from the site, still says cd-r. If i burn something to it using a dvd-rw disk, it wont let me, and asks for a cd-r disk.

The disks that come with it dont help, they are only software installers, and i have installed them, but it still doesnt work.


Halp.

well since u reinstalled windows my guess is that microsoft can't find the driver for it so it installed the closest driver it could find for it which must have for a cd drive so have you tried reinstalling the drivers for it
