Problem being that I only have a Win pro32 bit disk to do a recovery which ain't going to work. I have a good working re-writable drive that I have burned programs onto with imgburn. However I CANNOT get the machine to recognize the DVD burner when I try 'recdisc.'

Same for control panel when I try to do a system repair disk. "Windows did not find a CD/DVD burner. If you do ..... make sure it is connected to the computer and try again."

Crap, it is there and is a good one. No problem with drivers etc. What is going on?

Verified the cd rom drive is Physically working and detected in windows then.
Click into device manager to double check it is there.

Make sure you have no virtual drives running on the system.
And you are not accidentally selecting a virtual drive to write to.

DVD burners burn out all the time. Make sure that you can burn something else currently. Also, make sure that your DVDs are good. Many a time I have had brand new DVDs which are not recognized as being black, which is really annoying.
