814982 2009-09-29 00:50:00 Just last night I was encoding a movie onto a DVD. The program crashed half way through. Then the DVD Drive became inaccessible. I fixed that by a windows update. My problem is that I cant record anything onto my discs also my DVD Drive is now recognized as DVD RAM after a firmware update which Dell recommended.

OS: Windows XP SP3
DVD Drive: TSST TS-L632H slim 8x DVD+/-RW

Undo all that.
System Restore for the update - or take the update out from Add/Remove - Updates.

Are you sure you got the right firmware?
Check your manufacturers firmware updates - not Dells. Dell don't make drives.

Windows Updates don't "fix" things like that...undo it as pctek has recommended.

I went to both of those. I tried running the fix but my DVD-RW is not recognized as a DVD burner anymore. No programs will recognize it, its a Windows XP error. I have worked out a way around this. By running Fedora's built in DVD Burner. It seems XP has screwed up in a way that Microsoft can't fix. I'm gonna use this alternative until I get Microsofts Windows 7. :drool
Thanks all for the help. Much appreciated
:thanks
