LG GSA-T20N DVD±RW Dual Layer Burner - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Go into device manager and delete that disk drive and then reboot and it should reinstall it. That will separate the drivers and put the old one back.

No driver required. Linux will use a built in universal driver.

Firmware for HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-T20N is here:http://files.rpc1.org/index.php?act=category&id=468

Windows XP/Vista/7 should automatically use its own drivers, so that you can read from CD/DVD disks.
You'll need "extra" software if you want to play a DVD-movie, or if you want to write CD/DVD disks,
e.g., 'PowerDVD' to "play", and Nero Burning to "write".

go to registry editor and delete upper and lower filters

Follow the link below to boot your CD's in optical drive.

do it only if u r a professional..

open it up, with the lens assembly there is a small preset, turn it using a screw driver a little anti-clockwise..clean the lens with clean cotton using isopropyl alcohol..
if not done, replace the lens assembly..
or else, replace the drive with a standby n see..

i gotta know: is ur drive pata/sata and the device make n model..
assuming that ur drive is pata, n u r a professional n aware of bios/cmos setup utility handling..!!
open up ur system cabinet and see if all the data cables n jumper settings at the back of the drives (master/slave selection)..itz most important..!!
however, at the bootup (0.29sec) start pressing briskly the key to enter cmos utility or bios setup (eg. F1/F2/F10/Del as applicable)..glance in the standard settings if r detected individually..change the 'Mode' if m/b is hybrid type(both SATA+PATA) : Native/Compatible/Enhanced (as applicable)..
see if ur device needs any additional driver or not, if so try downloading..
also try checking itz data cable for loose or faulty..
above all explanation is applicable only if itz not being detected by the m/b or system..(not for reading or writing problem)..

contact ur system admin/vendor....

You MUST have software that is for burning a CD.

Some examples are "CD Creator", "Nero" and others.

These programs are OFTEN not included and MUST be purchased seperately.

Hello there jpd0490.

Here's your geek-steer ...

There are principally two chief causes for this type (calibration) of burn failure:

1. Inadequate quality media (disks). Verbatim is always a solid choice. However, more important than the brand-name disks are sold under, is the actual manufacturer. You can determine this with the aid of a little software tool called "DVD Identifier". There is an entire sub-culture devoted to tracking the best media available, right down to the manufacturing lot level.
2. Drive failing. Since you say that it works consistently otherwise, this option is unlikely.

Good luck, and please do post back ...

• to let me (and interested others) know how things worked out,
• to provide clarification or feedback,
• if you have ANY further questions.

how long have you been using your dvd? if this is the first time you encounter the problem for a long time..your dvd burner might be damaged..better replace it...hope this helps

Check inside the CPU if it is connected properly.
Due to this problem there are some reason why it can't be detected to system.
#1 Make sure it is primary or slave control in the motherboard.
#2 Check if there is a power or not on DVD Drive or it have then try to eject the layer.
#3 Acquiring the DVD Drive to see it that the JUMPER setting is Master, Slave, Cable Select.

Good luck!
