Hi,

I can't burn DVDs or CDs on my Vista Premium install except through Windows Media Player. ITunes says that no burners can be detected, and if I try and burn through the inbuilt Windows Explorer burner thing, it says no files to be burned to disc, even if I've dragged a load onto the disc. I think my Vista install is a bit busted, but I don't know how to repair it without installing from scratch, which means losing all installed programs and starting again.

Any ideas?

TIA.

Alex

 

boing ?

 

Sounds like Vista doesn't recognise your dvdr drive. Is it a fairly old dvdr drive?
Does it work fine in XP?

Try a flash update for the dvdr drive, if available. The fact its workin in WMP means its not a software issue I believe.

 

It is a brand new machine that came with Vista installed, and it used to work, so it's something that has gone wrong that I need to repair somehow, just don't know how

 

3 choices then. System restore, reinstall or try another burning app such as Nero.
