Story: I used like 20 DVD discs to back up my hard drives data a few months ago to prepair for a complete system recovery since it was my only option to fix my random wireless adapter not working thing. I formatted it to UDF (Universal Disc Format) to use it like a flash drive, or so it says... Problem: I put in one of my discs earlier, which already had some of my old backed up data on it, to put some new stuff on it but it had no space left (around 40mb left on it) so I deleted what was on it...only it still had 40mb left...with nothing on the disc.. Its capacity is 4.7GB but it said it had 40MB of storage space remaining, so I went to format it and in the options it says its capacity is 57mb....WTF? Its suppose to be a flash drive! not a disposable flash drive! Am I doing something wrong here? I need to store some new thing cos I've ran out of disk space and I don't want to delete anything..

Hi guys I'm not sure if this is the right bit to post this in (mods please move as appropriate) I've just fitted a Liteon 20x DVD rewriter to my Packard Bell computer (which is about 5 years old and using XP Home). The DVD writer is working fine but for some reason I have lost all sound from my desktop speakers - I've checked that the volume controls are up and that the Realtek 97 has no fault. Any suggestions as to what might've happened. Please be gentle - I'm not too au fait with tech stuff. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi, I hope someone can help. I have a hard drive from a Freeview box which I'm hoping to install into my pc to add more storage space. Inside my pc, I've connected the spare power lead and the other, longer plug (not exactly sure what it's called). I restarted windows and it detected the new drive straight away and says its working correctly. But how do I enable it so I can start saving things to it? Any help is much appreciated. Many thanks, Jon-Paul.

My pc hasnt detected my new dvd rw drive
sbabeeee posted a topic in Tech Support & Discussions Forum
Hi there My original cd rw drive was broken so I bought a dvd rw drive to replace it. Im not that clued up on replacing parts in a pc but it seemed straight forward. Its a LINEON but i didnt take a note of the model. The problem is this, although the new drive seems to be working ok (it opens and closes) my pc hasnt detected it. I am sooooooooo desperate to get this working because I have just bought wrath of the lich king (world of warcraft) and i neeeeeeeeeeeed to play it!!! heehee Im running windows XP proffesional service pack 3 I hope that all made some sense -

I have a ASUS DRW - 2014 L1T DVD-RW installed on a Vista-32 sp1 desktop PC. Recently it has stopped reading or recognising data DVDs (game, data, etc). It does recognise and play movie DVDs or CDs though. Nothing wrong with the failed DVDs as they work fine on different PCs. When I insert a game DVD, I see the green highlight on "my computer" window indicating it is reading the , then either of 3 things happen: 1) nothing happens at all 2) nothing happens and cd tray ejects with a message "insert disc" or 3) windows explorer fails to respond I have downloaded and flashed the manufacturer's latest firmware. Nothing. I had also an issue with a certain Vista update that randomly gives me a blue screen which I will ask in another thread. I don't know whether it's a coincidence or related to this problem. Any suggestions? Thanks

Hi What would be the reason for a slow startup...as it restarts and you've got the Windows XP logo on the black screen with a blue thinking bar moving across in blocks which goes at a normal speed then slows completely down and takes 5-10 minutes to get back up to speed then move onto the blue windows start-up screen and everything is fine from there? Have I made any sense??? System: Microsoft Windows XP – Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 2 Computer: AMD Athlon™ 63 X2 Dual Core Processor 4800+ 2.51 GHz, 2.00 GB of RAM Physical Address Extension Have scanned with Panda Security & Spyware Doctor but restart is still really slow. Plus my DVD drive has disappeared. It no longer shows in My computer or device manager. Could this be linked? Can anyone help?
