Hello sballgrl11
You can only finalize the dvd on the device you used to burn the dvd . The finalizing process is included in the burning software youn have used . It's generally automatic but can sometimes be optional .
Best regards ,
fanaudi .

Usually its just plug and play on the Mac. The software with the .exe is for Windows. I'd just plug it in via USB and see if it shows up on your regular Mac burning software.

you will need to give more information if you want help

I have had a similar problem with this drive and windows 7. The device was not receiving enough power to operate. I found 2 solutions:
1) If connecting through a usb extension, plug in both USB connecters on the DVD's power cable.
2) Try plugging directly into the PC"s USB ports. Remember to always use the USB on the power cord that has the 2 wires connecting to it.

If this does not work, the drivers may have become corrupted. If so, let me know and I will walk you through it

Hello,
Just click on the link http://support.microsoft.com/mats/cd_dvd_drive_problems/en-us
and also click on NOW RUN from right side box. It will automatically give you the message, well or bad.
If the problem with the lens, you should try cleaning the lens,with disk cleaner, it's already gone bad and there is no harm to take a risk to open or disassemble the dvd/cd rw,click on the bellow link

What is GP30? This file might help: http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/files/file/8-cdgone/ Download, unzip, then run exe file.

Are you connecting the unit to your computer or a TV? If it's the former, what OS does your computer have? Can you access the DVD to read the contents of any optical disc or play back audio CDs? If you can't get any content, then try a different Y USB cable (shorter cables are best). If you still don't get a response, try a different optical drive. The LG GP40NB40 may be faulty. If it is under warranty (1 year), contact LG or return it to the store where you purchased it (usually a 30 day return period). If you have Windows 8, it doesn't come with the Codecs to play DVDs. (Some new Windows 8 machines will include a program like Cyberlink's PowerDVD. However, not all will.) In that case you need to install an appropriate program to play DVDs. The Win8 Media Player requires an upgrade to Win8 Pro and then the purchase of the Media Center. VLC will play most DVDs http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html . Some DRM issues may interfere. There are other DVD playback programs you can try. (As far as I can tell, the software that LG included with this model is not Win8 compatible for playback of movies.) If you had an older version of Windows and upgraded to Windows 8 Pro, you just need to purchase Media Center. (At least with some machines, the DVD playback software before the upgrade wasn't Win8 compatible and has to be upgraded.) If you have a different OS, please indicate which one. (XP, Vista and Windows 7 all came with media player codecs for DVDs. Before that, the feature wasn't included.) If you are connecting to a TV, it isn't designed to play commercial movies. It acts like a flash drive to play videos, display photos, etc. (Thus the limitations are due to the TVs file Codecs. Check the TV documentation.)I hope this helps. Cindy Wells
