cf-30 dvd/cdrw drive
Ok, I've been looking around here after Jeff recommended me here, my cd drive works, but when it comes to writing cd's it wont see blank disks, cdr's or dvdr's. Well i was at the flea market and found a dvdrw it was out of a dell but it was a sony drive and fit the CF-30 adapter/caddy i installed and booted up fine(for $7 for the drive i figured what would i loose if it didnt work lol). shows as a bootable drive in bios reads cd's and dvd's fine like the other drive...but neither drives will write or recognize blank disks...any ideas??? im stumped and out of ideas...ive searched here and nbr and google...

Re: cf-30 dvd/cdrw drive
Give VLC a shot. It may have the registry tweaks built in.
Check W7 Q&A at Microsoft. I think your missing an upgrade or this: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/wind ... 89f7493aee
Mentions re-installing/upgrading driver for DVD and etc.

Re: cf-30 dvd/cdrw drive
The drives are dying. I have a CF-74 that started doing that a couple weeks ago. Any time I have had an optical drive start acting up, and a good cleaning with a cleaning disc, running multiple times, does not fix the problem, it has turned out to be the drive itself failing. Now you know why the drive from the flea market was cheap. 
Save yourself time and frustration and just get another (new) drive.

Life's Journey is not to arrive safely at the grave in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways totally worn-out shouting 'Woo Hoo! What a ride!
Motorsports - the only real sport. If it doesn't have a motor, it is just a game.
There is always something waiting at the end of the road, if you are not willing to see what it is, you probably shouldn't be out there in the first place.

Re: cf-30 dvd/cdrw drive
You can try reloading drivers for the optical drives, but I'll be surprised if either one starts working.

Re: cf-30 dvd/cdrw drive
they work as "drives" but will not burn, one doesnt see the disk and the other says drive to fast/slow
