DVD RW Drive Error

Rite, i just bought a HP DVD RW 840b lightscribe. Ive managed to use it to write on the lightscribe disc i got with it, and nero successfully write to it on a cd. The thing is, nero failed to verifie the data. Also when i incert a disc into the drive it changes the logo from the dvd drive logo, to the cd logo, obviously meaning its detecting the disc. But when i try to open it, it tells me to insert a disc, when i right click on properties it reports 0free space and 0 used space.

Any help?

Any1 know anything?

Or should i just send it back to scan for a replacement? The fact it can do everything else makes me think it isnt a hardware problem.

Has this happened with a few CD's, or just one?
What brand of CD's are you using?
Could be a media compatabilty issue?
What type of disk are you making; data, audio, etc?
Have you tried any other burning software or updated Nero?
Have you tried flashing the drives firmware?
Questions questions... :D

Heh

have poke around the manufactures website for an updated firmware version. Try a different brand of CD's too.

One other thing, try burning at lower speeds and see if that helps.
