I have a six year old sony vaio desktop. It has a

I have a six year old sony vaio desktop. It has a DVD ROM drive and a DVD+RW/CD-RW drive. The DVD+RW/CD-RW drive stopped recognizing discs. I unistalled and reinstalled, I updated the drivers - still nothing. I purchased an external DVD burner today. My computer recognizes the device but when I insert the installation disc in the new burner the disc is not recognized. Can someone help me?

    I used to burn from Windows Media. when I started having problems I tried ashampoo - that worked for a little while. My computer recognizes the external burner but when I put a disk in it - even a blank one- my computer does not recognize that there is a disk inserted, neither does ashampoo or windows media.

    Probably you don't need the driver cd's.. What program do you prefer to burn cd/dvd's ? Doesn't it auto detect your new external burner?

Dvd+rw nd-2100ad no disk in drive error

Can you see DVD-RW drives indicator busy when you insert that disk for a long time? if so, your drive may not going to read that disk. If it is in case of CD disk, sometimes DVD-RW just can't read it while very old CD-ROM can read! If this happens in case of other CD/DVD witch is readable by other DVD-RW, You may just try to clean the lens of your drive.

The DVD Rom won't able to read DVD, but has no problem for CDs.

Hello,

Verify that you have a dvd-rom drive and not a cd-rw drive. If you do have the correct drive, you may need to reinstall your DVD Decoder software. After this is done and a reboot, you should be able to read dvds.

Good Luck

Dvd-cdrom plays music-cd.Not dvd-cd :No Valide Drive/Disc Found

Simply change the ROM to DVD RW drive since this is an old PC and now days nobody uses a dvd rom but a dvd writer. It will be worth it since it can do all the functions and is also more hardy........sodeep

Why my [sony cd rw dvd rom] will not detect a blank dvd disk

If you have the sony CD RW DVD ROM then you can't burn the data in a blank DVD.

Because your Configuration is :
Read : CD / DVD
Write : CD

This means you have a combo drive. But to burn a DVD you should have DVD RW.
