Sorry, another drive not recognized issue

[Wakim]

Hi, and thanks looking at this.

 

I re-installed Window's on my PC last weekend, and the one thing I forgot to do ahead of time was make sure I knew how to get this working again.

 

I re-installed Window's about 11 months ago, and had this problem where I couldn't get Creator Classic to recognize my DVD RW Drive. I scoured forrums for a while and finally found a fix that worked by editing a registry value.

 

It's a clean install of Window's with all updates.

 

The updates on this site haven't changed since the last time I installed, and my Classic Creator is version 6.2.0.111, which should be the most up to date for the US English version.

 

My drive is _NEC DVD_RW ND-1300A

 

Window's explorer does recognize it as a DVD RW drive, and the Drag to Disk also seems to recognize.

 

When I installed the program and updated the engine I did have to re-boot several times. It disabled my anti-virus, so thinking that might be part of the problem I un-installed and re-installed disabling my AGP anti-virus and ZoneAlarm firewall. I still had to re-boot an inordinate number of times. I would get the message "Roxio assistant has successfully updated you registry: Return code: TBC" and then be asked to re-boot.

 

I did find this link in another post, and tried both of the suggestions here.

From what I remember of the last time I got this to work the registry entry seems to be more like this one I found researching this, but my drive shows up with an accurate value here.

Any help would be appreciated. I don't really use anything but Classic Creator to make the occasional data disk or music CD, and would rather not upgrade just for that.

 

When I open Creator Classic, I should be seeing my DVD RW down in the lower right hand corner as the default drive, but it say's N/A, and I can't change it. I tried putting a blank CD in, and it kept on saying I needed to put in a blank CD. That same disk worked with Drag to Disk.

 

I can't believe I didn't save the instructions from the last time this happened!

Is that disc one you formatted with Drag to disc? If so, then it is not truely blank, and is only usavble by Drag to Disc. Placing it in the drive will cause Drag to Disc to lock out the drive for other programs while it is in there. Have you tried a blank, never before used disc, right out of the box or off a spindle yet?

Thanks for the response. After installing, and seeing the insert blank disk message in Creator Classic I pulled a brand new disk off the spindle, and CC was still asking for a blanks disk. After than is when I tried using D2D to format it, and it worked fine.
