dvd-r drive does not read the dvd-r disc

[gemini86]

my dvd-r does not want to read the blank dvd-r disc i put into it. sometimes it reads that it has an audio file recorded onto it. it does this to all the dvd-r discs i put into it. once in a wile i will get lucky and it will read that it is a blank dvd-r. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What mobo do you have?

If it is nvidia and you are using nvidia ATA drivers...then that could be the problem.

Go into device manager and reinstall Windows standard drivers and try that.

Maybe you could tell us a little about your system... like what burner you have.

The type of media may also be helpful.
