619469 2007-12-09 14:27:00 Hi, can anybody help me?
I have ASUS DVD-RW 1814BL, it worked well but some days ago problems started: I burned data DVD and it can't read it (Windows Explorer just hangs) but other computers read it excellently. I tried other discs but the problem persists. Then I booted in safe mode and all my discs were read well. I tried FAR Manager in normal mode and it could open, copy etc. all files except executables (.exe and .msi)-it shows I/O error. And when I inserted DVD-video disc it shows empty folders. Autorun is disabled.
I have Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2. Drive - ATAPI.
Please help me if you can!
:help:

Try a System Restore back to when the drive was working. Backup your data first, especially that which was created since the restore point you are restoring to.

Only CD.

Did you install the Imapi 2 update, which does support burning to DVD?

Refreshed its firmware, then it worked again.

There are no problems with burning only with discs reading . I used Nero 7 for burning .
I can't restore my system to the right time .
P . S . I searched for the IMAPI 2 drivers for DVD but can't find where to download them . :confused: :illogical

619474 2007-12-09 22:52:00 The update is on the MS site (www.microsoft.com)

Try updating the firmware (dlsvr01.asus.com) on that burner, I'm using the same burner here.

If 1.13 isnt on it at the mo.
