Windows Forum / Windows XP / Accessibility / April 2007Blank CD not recognised
Having installed a new Sony AWG 170A DVD/CD drive I found tha Windows XP would not recognise it as a recordable device. I changed the value data for the "Drive Type" in the registry to "2" ( CD-RW ) and this produced a "Recording " tab under CD drive (Properties) in My Computer. When I try to burn a CD-R or RW disk, I am asked to insert a blank disk even after doing so! Any suggestions?  Signaturezylog Go to Control Panel - Admin Tools - Services or click Start, Run and type : services.msc Make sure that IMAPI CD Burning is Started. If not, double click it, set Startup type to Manual, Apply.Exit and reboot. Now in My Computer, right-click the drive, Properties, Recording Page and make sure 'Enable recording' is checked Signature==================================== TaurArian [MS-MVP] 2005-2007 - Australia ==================================== How to make a good post: http://www.dts-l.org/goodpost.htm Backup and data recovery: http://www.acronis.com.sg/ Enhancing file system performance: http://www.diskeeper.com/defrag.asp Defending your machine: http://defendingyourmachine2.blogspot.com/ | Having installed a new Sony AWG 170A DVD/CD drive I found tha Windows XP | would not recognise it as a recordable device.

Thanks, but I had already done all that and it still requests a blank disk to be inserted when one is there already!

Following some advice from another discussion group, I uninstalled the drive under Device Manager in Control Panel and then restarted the computer. XP then reinstalled the drivers for the "New Hardware" and this time the drive started working correctly! Would you drive a car controled by Microsoft software???
