Wierd DVD behaviour

[nmitch59]

I have a Pioneer DVD-rom and an MSI DR8A DVD Burner.
Yesterday the system showed new devices were found and
now the MSI does not show up and is not found on
subsequent scanning for new hardware. The Pioneer comes
up as "PAOFEER DVD%RGMDVD%105" in the device manager.

When I insert a CD into the pioneer drive and go into
windows Explorer, it says:
Drive is not accessible - The disk structure is
corrupted and unreadable.

HEEEELLLLLPPPPPPP!!!!

Try uninstalling the drivers in the device manager and rebooting .

What burning software are you using

uninstall softwar

uninstall DVD devices in "device manager
shut down computer, then check power and ribbon connections on the DVD
reboot, let windows configure device

reinstall softwar
check for any update for the burner softwar
