Pioneer DVD Burner

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Windows XP Home SP2

The CD burner in a friend's PC just died. We replaced it with a Pioneer
DVR-110; it's the first time for the PC to have a DVR. After we installed
it, we rebooted the PC, and Windows recognized the hardware and installed
drivers for it.Went to Device Manager, it's installed properly, 'device
working properly'. Tried to burn a CD, not a DVD, and Windows wouldn't do
it. Also tried a 3rd party CD burning application, still wouldn't burn. Got
'insert proper media' message. Why will Windows not burn a CD on a DVD
burner on his computer when it works on mine?

Installed with another CD ROM drive, jumpers set correctly, checked twice.

I also unplugged the secondary drive, things still wouldn't work.

I tried to open a few data CD, some would explore, with others I got 'Insert
disk in D:'

Other points to ponder. It was late, so I don't remember all the specifics,
but I put an audio CD in the drive and WMP wouldn't play it. I tried the
other CD ROM drive in the system, got a codec error message. Probably not
related....?

I'm stuck on this one, any ideas?
