Gilli99 Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 I have an LG DVD Rewriter GH20 installed in my PC. I have a Packard Bell, with Windows XP Home edition 2002. The PC came with only a CD drive, so a friend, who knows his way round a computer, installed the LG. But my computer, although it seems to recognise the drive, doesnt burn anything at all. I go through the burn process and get the 'burn has successfully completed', but the disc is empty! I had wanted to burn movies that I downloaded, legally, and burn photo files, but it just doesnt work. Can anyone help, please? Quote
Dalo Harkin Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 What program are you using to try and do the burning with? alot of players need firmware updates - ask your friend to do this if you are unsure as a bad firmware update can leave the drive inoperable.

Dalo Harkin Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 Are you using the burn data disk option?? If so then it does sound like an issue with the burner - a firmware update would be the next course of action Quote Intel Q6600 @ 4Ghz (Watercooled)Asus P5K premium black pearl4GB OCZ Reaper 8500260GTX Join Free PC Help - Register here Donations are welcome - here PC Build We are all members helping other members.Please return here where you may be able to help someone else.After all, no one knows everything and you may have the answer that someone needs.
Seth Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 Does it read cd's ok? Try using an alternate burning program and burn a data disk with regular files: CDBurnerXP: Introduction and News Another option would be to try burning a cd from a different manufacturer.
