Hi,

I have a DELL 5150 inspiron and for some reason i can no longer burn dvd's?? I have a single drive.

Maxtor 7L250S0
HL-DT-DT DVD+-RW GWA4164B

The location for both drives are both (0)

I have used convertxtodvd and the error message is something like another program is accessing the device.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Any ideas guys?

Cheers

What happened to this once great, helpful site??

Aw, Terry, I'd help if I had a clue... but i don't have anything original. I guess you have checked the infamous filters in registry .. all I can offer is that you try to kill any non-Windows process that could be using that burner [a start is Task Manager]; sometimes you must use something like Unlocker. Check also using a start-up tracker like the one in Hijackthis [Misc Tools section] to see what program that uses the burner is starting its drivers unbidden.
