Right-click on the DVD drive in Device Manager
and select uninstall, then restart your computer.
Vista will automatically reinstall the DVD drive.

did you install Itunes or another burning software ???
this is a know problem with Itunes. uninstall it, restart your PC and
you'll get your burners back. It has to do with Itunes using a Gear burning
mechanism that is incompatible with some DVD drives in Vista and overrides
the installed drivers. if you google you can find a registry fix to help.

some people on here tells you the right things to do and some dont...you
should of been told this..if your dvd/cd burners and or players..are
old..built before windows vista..you need new stuff..uncle bill is got it
fixed,where old stuff that he has not got a cut..or fee..want work in
vista.he is greedy..

i had to buy a new dvd burner with 2007 vista approved software..after i
installed that,then my dvd and cd player started geting reconized and
working..this is the way it is..

You idiot...you're talking about two different things. You may have had
to upgrade your SOFTWARE BUT CERTAINLY NOT THE BURNER (hardware) ITSELF!
Be careful about giving completely wrong advice.

I have the same problem, only with windows XP Media Center Edition (SP2) and
haven't been able to solve the mistory and have followed most of the
direction in this string of messages. Did you ever resolve you this issue
and if so, what finally worked for you?
