I got this drive from my friend. It is quite an old drive, Pioneer DVR-105. Its maximum burn speed is 4x.. Anyway, I upgraded the firmware on it because I thought that was the problem, but of course, it didn't help..

The drive doesn't recognize a blank dvd-r or anything of the like. It recognizes games such as Battlefield 2, F.E.A.R., etc.. I am confused. Can someone please help me?

I am trying to back up a game since it is getting very scratchy. I put in a blank dvd, and I click on the drive in My Computer and then it comes up saying 'No Disc in Drive.' I put the same dvd in my other drive, and it lets me go into it and it shows it completely blank.

I can find the drive on my computer, and I can find any other dvd/cd possibly made. It is just it cannot find the dvd-r/rw.

He said it worked perfectly fine. It is just he had never used it and left it in its retail box for quite sometime.

I am almost 100% sure that I have the right firmware upgrade since when I went to install it, it said that the device was found..

I have Alcohol 120% and Nero. They both can burn dvd-r/rws and image files and neither program can detect a blank dvd in the drive.

Nothing will recognize the blank cd in my drive.
Help... Duh.
