Double check and reseat all connections.
Verify the jumper settings are correct on all devices on the same channel as
DVD drive.
What does ASUS say about Vista compatibility?

The burner works with other software just not vista programs?

What does device manager show for the drive. I had 2 drives that
disappeared one day. The device manager showed a yellow (gold) circle next
to them. They worked fine in XP, so it had to be something with the Vista
install. It turned out the Upper Filter Lower Filter fix solved the problem
and the drives were visible again. Some other piece of software must have
put those entries in the registry.

everything is fine in the device manager no errors. Drives work with Nero
and other programs just Vista does not work???????????????

I'm having the same issue will all 3 of my burners. 2 are Plextors and 1 is
an NEC/Sony. Ashampoo works as advertised but burning within Vista does not.
I'm always told my blank media needs formatting but can't be formatted.
