I have a dell desktop with dual deck. The player is listed as the D drive, and the Samsung recorder was listed as the E drive.
In the error logs it says;"disappeared from the system wwithout first being prepared for removal"
When i put a disk in the tray, the operation light flashes on the deck, but nothing else happens.
When I try to use any program to copy to disc, I get a"No Recorder" prompt.
