I've come across the need to burn some dual layer dvd's... well, i have a DVD drive capable od doing JUST that; The DVDRW IDE1008. The thing is right as i need it to work (oor maybe it just never worked to begin with) it won't read my blank dual layer dvd's, and regular dvd's are detected as CDs.
I have the latest firmware, and i do have IDE drivers, i've tried just about everything to no avail.
I even installed ANOTHER drive into my computer with dual layer just to see if it was the original drive that was defective, the same thing happens. Obviously i'm dealing with a motherboard problem, but that's as far as i can interpret.
I really need to burn these DVD's, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Some more information:: when i install the drive, windows XP detects it as DVDRW IDE1008 and then goes to label it as a CD drive. In "my computer" its name is "DVDrw drive", but when i put in a dvd, it turns into the label cd-drive, and reads the dvd as a cd (in otherwords, it asks if i want to burn the CD, not the DVD)
System information:
Motherboard: EVGA NF-CK804 nforce4 sli
DVD drive in question: DVDRW IDE1008
P.S. this problem MAY have to do with my pwoersupply
