The DVD/CD unit packed up on my laptop some time back and I used an external one up until yesterday when the external one stopped working. Opening it produced the normal burnt smell and there was a tiny SMD electrolytic burnt out. 47uFd.
I removed the drive and fitted it into my laptop, the drivers self installed. However while it reads it will not write to discs, It does not recognize blank disks at all. The description under hardware is DVD/CD RAM drive but the driver is DVD/CD ROM. This is the problem but I cannot find a different driver. PC is Aspire 5100 and the drive is HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-T20N ATA. This now shows under hardware as DVD/CD-ROM drives.
Any suggestions?
