DVD burning

[Guest RonPhil]

I've got a new problem with XP Media Edition and Adobe Premier Elements. I've

burnt literally dozens of DVDs. Now Premier is telling me it can't locate a

burner. I can't burn CD's either. The device manager says the devices are

fine. They'll play back, just won't burn. Any suggestions?

Drive might have died?

 

If you have a bootable CD (Windows XP CD will do), can you boot to it

on a system restart (requires a proper BIOS setting)?

Thanks for the suggestion but I don't have a bootable CD. This problem is

with both an internal CD burner and an external DVD burner. I've tried both

Premiere Elements and Iomega software. it's got to be in XP.

Check the properties of your cdburner drives, there has been a spate of the

cd burning being disabled recently. within windows.

Thank you sgopus! About a week ago maybe a little more my laptops combo drive

stopped burning. It would read and copy but not burn. So i asked on Aumha

forums if anybody could help and one guy said maybe the drives writing laser

had failed. But he was wrong, i just checked the property sheet and somehow

the drives "Enable cd recording on this drive" checkbox was unchecked. It

works fine now. But i have no idea how that checkbox got unchecked. I even

went and bought an external cd/dvd burner.

I'm not sure why this is happening, some MS update caused it to happen on my

machine, glad to hear it solved your issue.

Funny thing is i thought it was my fault. I was planning on dual booting my

laptop with my current XP install and Linux. I downloaded a LiveCD ISO of

PCLinuxOS

burned it to a cd and popped it in my laptop for a test run. After an

interminable amount of time it finally reached the The KDE desktop but

nothing worked not

even the shutdown button. So i was forced to shutdown my laptop via the

power button, which i did. After the power down i removed the PCLinx cd from

my cd drive and rebooted into Windows to download an Ubuntu Live cd and try

it.out.

But when i tried to burn the ISO i found out then that my drive no longer

would burn. Naturally i thought it was due to my having to do the "hard

shutdown" earlier. So i started troubleshooting the problem including

reinstalling the drivers for the drive but no luck. I'm pretty sure at this

time i also checked the property sheet for something amiss, but maybe i

didn't. Finally i posted my problem to Aumha forums and got the answer i

cited in my earlier post here., and based on

what i was told i went and bought an external burner. This though is not

all bad

since my laptops drive burned only cds and not dvds i now have a DVD burner.

Have a nice day.
