Lite-On SOHW 832s No Longer Burning

[HateDread]

Hey all,

For some reason, my CD/DVD drive is refusing to burn - I remember doing some registry tweaks a while back to try and use some ISO software, and I think I broke my burn capability :/ How do I fix/reset it? I can't find any drivers, etc, to rollback to / reupdate, so I'm not really sure what I can do.

Ideas?

Also there is SFC How to use the System File Checker tool to troubleshoot missing or corrupted system files on Windows Vista or on Windows 7

If your computer is working OK (not knowing what OS you have), maybe you can try re-burn your DVD drive's firmware for use with Windows XP:
