Hey all.
Back around Christmas break something went screwy with my computer and suddenly it decided that I no longer had any disk drives at all. Understandably distressed by this recent discovery I scoured the internet to find the exact solution I needed to the problem. Thankfully, I found it and went into the registry and deleted this one file with a really long name and my first disk drive miraculously reappeared. So happy that I’d fixed it and in a hurry to leave my house I decided to leave my second disk drive, the one with my CD burner, unfixed with the plan to fix it some other time.
Fast forward, I want to burn a CD but I never fixed it and it’s been long enough that I forgot where I found the solution to the problem in the first place and now I need to fix it.
Basically, my E Drive, where my burner is, is there now (it reappeared along with my others when I fixed my first). It will even say that a disc is inserted when I insert a blank disc. Under properties>hardware it says that the device is working properly. But whenever I try to burn a disc my computer tells me I have no burning software. I’m not sure if it is related to my drives suddenly vanishing back around Christmas or if I just need new software.
Any tips?
Vista 64 and yes, I did.
I honestly cant tell you what it was, but it worked perfectly fine up until the day my disk drives went poof. I’m thinking I just need to fix that part of it, but I dont know how.
Although if just trying to install a new burner onto my E Drive could be a possible solution, I could try that. I’m just not sure what to use for a cd burner.
