Last night i bought an LG SGA-5120D external dvd burner, because my laptop
does not have a dvd burner.
I connected the drive to my laptop through a USB cable but then a warning
message popped that read "HI-SPEED USB Device Plugged into non-HI-SPEED USB
Hub" so i used an IEEE 1394 cable instead. The dvd burner was connected and
installed but the problem is i couldn't burn dvds on the drive. when i go to
"My Computer" the name of the drive shows as "DVD-RAM Drive (E" and when i
insert a blank DVD-R or DVD+RW the name changes to "CD Drive (E" and when i
click it i get this message "Winows cannot read from this disk. The disk
might be corrupted, or it could be using a format that is not compatible with
windows" but the drive can still read music CDs.
and when i try burning movie files or any other files by going to the folder
and highlighting the file and selecting "Move this file" and choosing the new
drive i get the same message "windows cannot read from this disk. the disk
might be corrupted or it could be using a format that is not compatible with
windows".
the weird thing is the drive can read music CDs and movie DVDs but when i
insert a blank DVD-R/RW or DVD+R/RW and click on the drive i get the error
message. and the drive is supposed to read and burn all types of media.
i don't know what to do, i re-installed the drive and ran the troubleshooter
and updated the anti-virus and ran it several times, and in the device
manager it tells me the drive is working fine.
sorry it took long but i want to know if there is a way to fix this. and i
want to know if the problem is from my computer or the drive. Please help.
