I have replaced my cdrw with a dvdr. It used to be in this comp but I replaced it with a dvdrw.
I thought I could copy dvds directly rather than placing the stuff on my hard drive first.
Anyway, for some reason it is only showing as a cdr and wont play dvds. I am wondering about conflicts and stuff. It seems to be working ok, device manager says so, but it definately thinks its a cdr not a dvdr.
Any ideas?
Did it come with any software? If not, check the company's site.
Nope....it was originally factory installed and worked just fine in the top slot. I now have it in the lower slot which was where the old cdrw was. Its not been used for about 2 months since I replaced it with the dvdrw. I just thought I would swap the old cdrw with the dvdr....its very odd and I think something has gone pear shaped! :unsure:
So can it can read and burn dvds?
Most dvds are 6-8 GB so you will have to use hd space to be able to copy them.

It is not a burner it is just a player....but it seems to think it is a cdr not a dvd and won't play dvd, just opens the disc like a cdr and shows the dvd files.
my burner is working fine (as we speak I have burnt 2 dvds no problem)
What I want to do is copy a dvd from the player to the dvd in the burner
Ok...another problem...I think I am gonna put everything back..... :huh:
my burner will burn but wont play and is now showing as a cd...I think something is very wrong..... :(
Oh...btw...just checked the discs in my dvd player with the tv...works fine.
remove the burner from 'the hardware list in windows' and reboot now windows will auto recognize it and it should be ok.
ok...will give it a go...ta
You say you can "see" the files of the DVD yet they won't "play"?
What DVD playing application are you using if any?
