| | Disc Drives are not being read as Burnable I have a CD-RW and a DVD-RW drive both are burnable drives. The drives are being recognized by the computer and I can get data from discs and download programs from the drives. However when I go to burn a disc it says please connect a burnable disc drive. I tried with iTunes and with Media player to burn a cd and they both say the same thing?? Why is vista not recognizing that these are both burnable drives? |
