DVD Writer problem

**bean_2k1** · 26th July 2003

i have a Pioneer 105 writer and everytime i try burning a image it keep saying invalid disc. Also when i put a dvdr in the drive it comes up as an audio cd and i cant eject the disc. Any ideas or will i have to get a new writer and if so which one ?

i have tryed nero promo dvd but the software wont make a difference i dont think if the drive keeps reading dvdr as audio cds. Its running on win xp

I'd check to see if it's OK outside windows with a bootable CD first.
Then try removing CD/DVD drives and IDE controllers from Device Manager and reinstall them by restarting.

Are you using the same drive to read and write? Have you updated the firmware on it? Maybe its a media problem and the drive is havin problems reading it?
