DVD-RW drive reverting to CD-RW ... perplexing !!
I have a perplexing problem that's driving me crazy !! I have a I/O Magic Dual Format Double Layer drive (IDID16DL) installed as my only CD/DVD drive. I have not used the DVD RW portion of it in quite a while, and now cannot get ti to write a DVD data disk. When I bring up Windows Explorer it shows as "DVD-RW Drive (E:)" ... when I insert a blank DVD disk after about 20 seconds the Windows Explorer line changes to say "CD Drive (E:)". If I attempt to write data to it I get the popup that says the disk is either full or not writeable.
Does anyone out there have any idea what's going on ??
By-the-way ... it does the same thing with two other CD/DVD-RW drives.
I'm running the latest Windows XP Pro.
