DVD/RW drive doesn't recognize when there's a recordable disc installed
Anyone have any suggestions? I'm finally trying to burn my first discs as backups. For whatever reason, when I load a CD-R or DVD-R into the drive, I keep getting the message that there's no disc in drive E:
This drive plays DVD's no problem. I just can't figure out why it doesn't recognize when I install a blank recordable disc.

Wow - that blows... Sounds like you did everything I did, just without the good results. I'm afraid I've got nothing more to suggest. If it weren't for the kindness of others on this forum I'd still be without my drives.
Hopefully, someone else will have some more suggestions.
Good luck.

Thanks Ziggy
But just in case anyone else can help, I have a dell Dimension 4600 series PC, with two drives [HL-DT-ST-RW DVD GCC-4880B] and [NEC DVD+RW ND-2100AD].
I have tried to edit the Windows registry and changed the drive type to 1 and 2, but neither have worked. I've also tried to un-install and reinstall the drive under device manager. But I still can't get a Recording tab in the Properties dialogue box.
Are there any further ideas, about which settings I should use to make the system recognise my Dell DVD burner?
Many thanks
