NEC DVD Disk Drive Not Recognizing Inserted Disks
I have had an NEC 4550 DVD writer for 6 months or so that's never given me
any problems until recently. It won't recognize some of the disks I insert and I can't pin down what's causing it. I get a monthly magazine which has a dual sided DVD Cover Disk and on the A side -which is mostly applications- it won't read any data on the disk, but I can open the volume in Explorer, which -strangely- it shows as an empty folder. On the B side -which is mostly game demos- it will recognize the disk and autorun. I can't see enough of a difference between the 2 sides to see what might be causing it. The interface is presented as a Macromedia Projector Exe At first I thought it was a problem with the production of the disk but now I've come to suspect that it's something between the OS and the Disk itself, some driver or program or something. I'm able to watch, rip and burn all kinds of DVD's & CD's without any problems, but nothing I can think of to try or application to use to access any of the data on the A side of the recent Cover Disk's works. It also seems to be somewhat choosy, in that it sometimes does recognize a disk, although never one it has previously failed to recognize. Anyone have any ideas ? |
