We just installed a writeable DVD drive. I downloaded the most recent
firmware to be certain the driver was up to date, and that wasn't the
problem. In two different programs now, I tried to write to the DVD-R in the
drive and it says it is write protected. I switched to a new disk, just to
be certain the one I was using hadn't been written to, and received the same
message. Any idea how to remove the write protection?
