Put a disk in?
Mine looks like that with no disk also.
You need to be clear on the problem, not show a pic and say fix it.

Thanks for the response doormatderek.

 

This image is of a LG CD/DVD Writer.

 

I think the file system should have been unknown or NTFS, not raw and type should have been DVD Drive.

 

Whenever I insert a DVD inside it doesn't recognize it as a DVD.

 

I always get this message:

 

F:\ drive is not accessible.

 

Incorrect function.

XP or Vista?
You might need a driver.
Load up a free trial of Cyberlink or other DvD decoder.
XP doesnt have DvD support built in out of box.

Mine is a XP.

I always use a free version, whichever I get from download.com (mostly 30 days) to write DVDs.

I might have the CD (misplaced?) still which I got when I purchased this DVD Writer.

I will load the driver again.

Thanks again for the responses.
