Vista - Premium wont reconize external burners as burners.

Tested 2 different burning drives,

one is a external LiteOn drive,
and the other is also a external Samsung drive.
Both are designed for both + and - disks.

Symptoms :

LiteOn : Drive on reconize empty disks, wont burn to empty disks,
BUT it does howewer reconize wither they are RW or R

Samsung : Wont read rewrite disks, and wont reconize empty disks
as inserted into drive. and further more wont burn either.

Now this is just a WinV issue, cause they both run smoothly on the old
Xp lausy system. And still does.

Ideas on how to get them working on Vista ?

You have the latest Vista drivers for these?
