You're missing the point here Guys. The drive is OE and everything was working like it should for the last two years. Now suddenly Windows has decided that I don't have a DVD-RW drive. The drive burns using the OE Nero it's just that Windows now reports it as a CD drive! Something obviously has changed in Windows to cause it to now mis-identify the drive.

System Restore was as much use as an ashtray on a motorcycle. Is there a way of getting Windows to recognise the drive properly, as it always used to?

If the drive still cannot read the disc, use hardware diagnostic software to help determine if the drive has failed. If your computer has Windows XP and is still using the same software configuration, the computer might have a software program called PC-Doctor.

If so, use the steps that follow to test the drive. If you have changed upgraded the operating system or have a computer that came with Windows Me (or earlier) you can search the Internet for free diagnostic utilities or take the computer into a local service center to have the drive tested. Tips for better search results.
