Does a hl-dt-st dvdram gma-4082n write to dvds? I

backup whatever information you have and run the system recovery through the disks you received when you purchased the computer. If you can perform the recovery then you know the hardware is fine and that you were experiencing software corruption.

The dvd does not need driver, you need to reinstall Windows.

The DVD -R +R means that you can read these types of DVDs that have been created elsewhere, it doesn't mean you can write to your DVD under the format of -R or +R. The CD is a CDRW which means you can read and write to CDs.

I don't think that a factory Satellite P100 has the ability to write to either DVD -R or +R, but to only CDs. I have a P200 that has a DVD -R +R/CDRW and it can't write DVDs. These DVDs you put in are for read only. My Toshiba A215 can but it's a DVDRW/CDRW.

I also have had the same problem with my DVD drive. I Downloaded the new updates from the Lg.com website and Walaaaaaaa!!!!!!!! the problem has been Solved. Do the same for your dvd drive and you also can get your problem solved..........

this is due to the fault of the device you should replace it

check whether the device is detecting properly on bios or not

Go back to the device in device manager, right click on it and select properties, then under the driver tab click on "Roll back driver" button and see if that does the trick.

goto program defaults/media player/disc insertion= and choose the options you require. Or goto computer-cd/dvd drive and choose the program you wish to run the disc
