Ok, so everything was working fine. And then I downloaded ConvertXtoDVD free trial. I then started having audio and a few other problems, I had to uninstall it and do system restore. Everything was working again. Until I uninstalled the free trial of All Video Joiner (Zealot Software), and I think the other one I uninstalled was VLC Media Player, just a few minutes apart. So I don't know which one messed me up. My cd's play and burn just fine, and dvd's also play fine, but now I can't burn dvd's. I use Windows DVD Maker to burn the dvd's, but they alway's stop at 99% and say could not burn because this pops up, (Please make sure the DVD-ROM drive is connected properly or your disc may be dirty). I'm not using dirty disc's and I've used a laser lens cleaner in the drive. I've only burnt around 11 dvd's on the drive and I'm using the same disc's as before so that should not be a problem. I've went online to find solutions, and here's what i've figured out.
That the solutions they give you to try don't work, well at least not for me anyway.
As I have tried the following options.
1. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060
or...
2. Download, and run Restore Missing CD Drive patch
Double click on downloaded file, and allow registry merge.
or...
3. Go to Device Manager, click a "+" sign next to IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers.
You'll see two items:
- ATA Channel0 (or Primary Channel)
- ATA Channel1 (or Secondary Channel)
Right click on each of them, and click Uninstall. Confirm.
Restart Windows. They'll be automatically reinstalled.
So I don't know what else to do. If anyone has any advice or other solutions, that might help I Would appreciate it. Thank You
