| 684157 | 2008-07-01 03:07:00 | Laptop (Acer 9503) with mat****a dvd drive. Can write fine to both DVD-RW and CD-RW but not DVD-R or CD-R. Get error 1014 with suggestions of cleaning disk, try a new one etc. Have tried with differnt brands with same result. Same error if using XP Pro bulit in software or NTI CD/DVD Maker. Spent enough time on this so now backing up user data to format and reinstall. This will at least confirm if it is a software or hardware issue. Any ideas before I format? |

| 684159 | 2008-07-01 04:42:00 | Just found on a site - person with the same problem - Try this if using XP right click drive icon in my computer>properties>recorder (tab) and make sure box 'Enable CD recording on this Drive' is NOT checked. This worked for CD-R problems for me. Just looked and it bypasses the drag/drop to the CD. |

| 684163 | 2008-07-01 10:46:00 | Can write fine to both DVD-RW and CD-RW but not DVD-R or CD-R. Its odd - its usually the other way around, RW's are usually more unreliable.:confused: | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 684164 | 2008-07-01 15:45:00 | Isn't there a power difference in RW as opposed to normal -R or +R discs? I have always felt that writing to a RW required more laser to get thru the layers or excite the molecules . RWs are a little freaky to use if the voltage is too low . My son turns up the voltage on the laser in automotive cd players to get them to read a RW . . so maybe there's an answer there . I dunnow fer sure . |
