Hello Both of my Lite-On DVD/CD writers and players will not recognize a blank DVD. The status changes from DVD-Ram Drive to CD drive. Any suggestions. Thanks.
I'm having the same problem. Insert DVD R into single DVD/CD RW drive. R Click My Comp, R Click the drive and: shows a DVD Icon, but next to it the drive switches to a CD. Opposite when I try a CD R in the same drive. Looking into possibility that the laser optics are dusty/dirty. Plays DVD's and CD's fine. No problems with Nero (reinstalled), and even tried M$'s MrFixIt diagnostic, and it detected the drive isn't working properly (a ploy to have you pay for their fee to help?). Will get a disk cleaner in the next day or two, but it was suggested that might be a big reason why people decide just to replace them.
