Windows Forum / Windows XP / Performance and Maintainance / August 2007Win XP is suddenly not able to recognize the DVD side of my DVD/CD
My DVD/CD Writer worked perfectly for more than three years. Suddenly without having made any changes to the system and in spite of the Device Manager showing this Writer as working properly, it fails to to see full and/or empty DVD Disks. It does however play CDs. Totally at a loss. Could be the DVD laser or some other part is damaged. Time for a new drive. --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est > My DVD/CD Writer worked perfectly for more than three years.

I then looked through the letters in this newsgroup and found the anwer that worked. Right click my computer, choose Manage, from Services and Application choose Services, scroll down to IMAPI. Start if needed and set to Automatic if necessary. It worked perfectly. You may be able to help someone else. > Could be the DVD laser or some other part is damaged.

You can find them at any store that sells computers. For example: http://www.newegg.com/Store/Category.aspx?Category=10&name=CD-DVD-Burners-Media --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est > Really, can you be a little mor specific?
