This is my first post, and judging by some of the responses here, this is a great forum. I hope someone out there can help me with my problem.
My DVD-R (Pioneer DVR-107D) has been working fine for about 6 months until tonight it suddenly stops recognising DVDs, both blank and real ones. I can't burn, I can't get anything showing up.
I saw a recent post that had a similar, but not identical problem.
I use WinXP Pro. My Computer shows the drive there, well enough. But as I say it doesn't recongise any DVDs. What it DOES do is to recognise CDs and is able to burn CDs no problem.
This is where the difference lies. I don't know much about hardware admittedly, but if its recognising CDs and not DVDs I doubt that its a cable problem.
Any suggestions? Please reply either here, my email, or I use Yahoo Messenger and MSN as well.
Thanks so much in advance. This is actually the second time this has happened to me. The first time I just went and bought a new one. I want to avoid that if possible.
Joel.
