Hi,

My DVD Writer is writing DVD's but not reading them either when I right click & 'Explore' or I double click the drive icon.

I get the message 'Please insert a disk into drive'.

I am able to copy the DVD from my DVD Rom but after writing, the DVD Writer does read it.

Desktop Model/ Make: Compaq SR1630IL | Intel P4, 3.06GHz
OS: Win XP Pro
DVD R/W Make/ Model: Samsung SH-W162Z

Tried the following but no luck;
1) Uninstalling the drive in Device Manager & re-installing on re-boot.
 2) Updated the Firmware of the ODD.

Pls assist in resolving the issue.
 
OPtical drives use a different frequency of light to burn a disk as to read it

sorta

your only other option is to try different media

if not then buy a new drive...goodluck

Agreed ... but its reading other CDs & DVDs which are not written by itself.
 
Well its still leaves you with 2 options doesnt it


We could debate it all day mate, I dont think its worth the hassle tbh

Try different media or replace it your choice :)
