Uj-841s Burn Issues

[sta18ff]

I previously used EMC9 for awhile but uninstalled it at some point. I remember it asking something about recording in DVD-RAM and not CD format. Now my CD/DVD drive (mashita uj-841s) will not read or burn to CDs. It recognizes that a disc is in the drive but always says it is empty and needs to be formatted. I have no problem at all burning to DVDs. Does anyone know if there is a setting i can change w/o the software. I am currently trying to download the trial version to see if I can access the settings that way. If anyone has any other ideas let me know. P.S. I have already tried several other things such as uninstalling and reinstalling the driver and editing the registry to remove the upper and lower limits. Neither of these has helped at all. Thanks

Will it play a commercial music CD.

Just to make sure - do you have Drag-to-Disc active? Close it and set it not to open when you boot your computer via msconfig start up tab.

Actually it is better if you just remove drag to disc.

Since XP handles DVD-RAM natively as long as the DVD-RAM disc is formatted in FAT-32, if you have set your XP system to always record in DVD-RAM instead of CD could that be what it's now trying to do?
