Hi, I'm hoping I can get some help - I've searched the internet and just
can't find an answer, nor is there anything on the Microsoft fix it site.
Basically, we have two DVD RW drives on our Acer PC. We regularly burn to
DVD using Nero 7. A few days ago, when inserting a blank DVD RW into one of
the drives, the drive, in front of our eyes, turned from a DVD RW to a CD
drive. Then when I tried to click on the now cd drive I got an error message
saying 'incorrect function' - that seems to have disappeared now and instead
it doesn't read the DVD disc at all.
We then tried to burn, as per usual, to dvd via Nero 7, and even though
there's a DVD RW in the drive, it says either we need to put a disc in the
drive, or that we need to insert basically, anything but a dvd rw - but even
when we do, the same happens!
The top and bottom of it is when we insert a dvd into the dvd rw drive, it
bizzarely becomes a cd drive, which subsequently means we can't burn anything
to dvd, which is a real pain and makes us feel like we have half a pc.
It's not the drive, because the other DVD RW we have does exactly the same.
And we've tried using a variety of DVDs but it's still the same. And both
drives still read original dvds and things we've already burnt.
I'm thinking it must be a programming error or something to do with Nero,
but can't find a simple solution to fix it anywhere.
My other half is threatening to just wipe our whole PC and start from
scratch but we have so many sentimental things on there, brithday films etc
that I'm desperately scrapping around to find a solution! Please help.....!!!
Thank you in anticipation!
