I am using HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM GH22NS30 I can read disks (CD & DVD) and can able to write in R/W disks. When i tried to write data in CD-R it was failed. I tried Nero6 as well as Nero7 also tried some other burning software. But the same problem is existing. What's remedy?

Install the appropriate firmware, have you tried this:
Product Support or
HL DT ST DVD RAM GSA H22N ATA Device Drivers Download for Windows 7 8...

> unable to read any CD or DVD. Its detected in device manager but cant ready media.
Can you hear it "spinning" the media? If not, you have a "defective" unit (motors or bearings).
If it spins, but nothing is read, then you have a "defective" unit (dead laser).
Take it back to where you bought it, and get them to test it, to prove that it is "bad", and then for them to replace it.

> in Hardware details it shows HL-DT-ST DVD RAM GH24NS50 SCSI CDROM Device.
Normal for most SATA devices.
> it shows as HT-DT-ST CD-RW GCE-8526B ATA device.
Perfectly normal.

A CDRW/DVD is a CD-burner and DVD-ROM combined unit. It is not meant to record DVDs only CDs.

It will not recognise a blank DVD as it is unable to read any file system.

Reinstall the drive from Safe Mode with the drivers disk present, assuming Windows XP or higher...

I Don't Know WHY The Fu$%@@ , When You Test The Movie In Any DVD Player , Comp OR Whatever THE MOVIE DOESN'T WORK.
