No that's not what I meant. I DID NOT put in any disc and it just shows up as CD Driver, for both of them (the physical and the virtural DVD Drivers). It has never happened before.
Here is a snapshot:
I have NO disc. The one on the right is the real dvd rw, left is daemon tool virtual driver.
If you are looking at the drive in Windows (for example: My Computer) it will show as a DVD-RW Drive. If you insrt a DVD disc it will change to CD Drive. This is normal because Windows XP has no DVD recognition capabilities. You need third-party software for DVDs. The built-in writing for XP is for CDs only. DVDs began with Vista.
I've just uninstall my burning software (nero) and daemon tool and ultraiso but it's still not working! I've also deleted the DVD-RW driver from device manager and reinstall it again, and it's not working either.
Only rarely have I seen Daemon Tools peacefully coexisting with burning software. My suggestion would be to uninstall it completely. You might also need to uninstall and reinstall your burning software.
In My Computer, right-click the drive and select Properties. Select the Recording tab. Make sure the box is checked for Enable CD recording on this drive.
my machine went blue screen today and won't boot...so I reinstall the system. It's all fine now. I still don't know what happened before but don't care now. Thanks for all the help guys.
OK same thing happened again and I figured out the solution myself. It was a group policy script provided online (it suppose to help protect computer like a HIPS software, and without using extra resources because it's a part of windows xp).
it turned the "ShellHWDetection" to disable, which is what basically detecting hardware's "extended" function like difference between a dvd-rw and a regular cd driver so...
anyway I just opened cmd and changed "ShellHWDetection start= disabled" to "ShellHWDetection start= auto" and restart the service and everything is fine now.:smileyhappy:

OK same thing happened again and I figured out the solution myself. It was a group policy script provided online (it suppose to help protect computer like a HIPS software, and without using extra resources because it's a part of windows xp).
The execuation script is this:
Path=%windir%\system32\GroupPolicy\Machine
SavePath
Setup=gp.bat
Silent=1
Overwrite=1
In the "gp.bat" file, the script is this:
@echo off
reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Safer\CodeIdentifiers" /v Levels /t REG_DWORD /d "0x04131000" /f
net stop ShellHWDetection>nul
sc config ShellHWDetection start= disabled>nul
gpupdate /force
it turned the "ShellHWDetection" to disable, which is what basically detecting hardware's "extended" function like difference between a dvd-rw and a regular cd driver so...
anyway I just opened cmd and changed "ShellHWDetection start= disabled" to "ShellHWDetection start= auto" and restart the service and everything is fine now.:smileyhappy:
