I can read a previously written cd or dvd but cannot write to a blank
disk (cd/dvd)in the D drive. When attempting to write to the drive
containing a blank CD I get an error message that there isn't a disc in
the drive. Properties says that the free space and used space on the cd
in the drive are zero.
I can read the drive using Image Burn and it gives the correct amount of
space used/available. I can also burn to the drive using Image Burn.
This would preclude a defective drive.
Am not sure when the problem occurred. By that I mean that I have not
used the drive for a month or so and during that period something such
as an new program could have changed the registry in such a manner as to
prevent writing/recognizing a blank cd in the drive.
Trouble shooting thus far: Based upon an MVP suggestion I changed the
upper and lower filters in the registry to upperfiltersold and
lowerfiltersold.
Following this change I was able to read a CD, however I still cannot
burn a CD. Prior to the change I
could not read a previously recorded CD. The mvp suggestion was directed
to another writer/poster and I had
no direct communication with the mvp. The forum I was monitoring is:
forums.microsoft.com/msdn. You might ask, why didn't I chat with the
MVP... good question.. the answer is that I did not have my newsreader
active until today, hence could not post.
Also tried a system restore... but for some reason or another the OS
will not restore..(restore is enabled) which makes me think that my
problems are not just related to the driver/drive issue...
The usual suspects for messing up the registry are Canon, Kodak, Itunes,
Quicktime, Adobe photoshop and PhotoStudio. My problem is that I don't
know how to go about isolating the above suspects as being the culprit
of if indeed they might
Note. Read in the one the Microsoft newsgroups.. don't ask which one..
the Kodak easyshare is notorious for messing up the registry..
Anyway I certainly will appreciate any information/solution that might
be offered.
