DVD-RW Will not read or write DVD's

#1 Post by Junior897 » Fri Feb 27, 2009 5:48 pm

I went from XP to Vista, and got this problem. It would work in my XP went to Vista, and it didn't work. I pulled the drive from one T-42 and put it in another one and it did the same thing. I have checked the firmware, and it is current.

Do I just have a fried drive?

Does it read data DVDs? Do you have a Vista compatible DVD decoder and burner software?

I don't have any data disk that weren't burned with this drive.

I have Nero 8 installed on it.

It will burn CD's just not DVD's.
