Hello
I have urgent problem to solve.

I have Widows 98 and LIte on dvd recorder.
It was working for a long time without any problems , but since last week I
can't record any dvd.

I can read them without any problems. Liteon is ok - on my other PC it's
working with Windows XP.
And I have another Liteon DVD - same thing - it's working but I can't write
any cd on this Win 98 PC.
In Nero and other software for recording i have massage that there is no
rocorder in system.

I can't reinstall this Windows 98. (it's the last thing I want to do becouse
of software that is already installed)

I can see liteon in hardware tab - it has normal icon.
I have installed two different aspi drivers.

What can I do ?
Please help Smile

Try cleaning the DVD drive using a cleaning disc made for this purpose.

It makes sense in the way that those TV ads for "miracle wax"
that fills in minor car paint scratches etc. is supposed to
work. I would imagine it would work much better with TINY
scratches in a plastic disc. And you can always wash it off if
it doesn't help or makes it worse.

Personally speaking, I have successfully managed to only handle
CD's by their edges for many years now, and only dropped about 4
ever, with no visible damage. I have seen friends' discs which
should NOT play, but do. Who the hell knows anymore.

FWIW, I've managed to read every single byte off an AOL data CD after
severely gouging it along several radii with a screwdriver.

As for cleaning/repair recommendations, here are some links to the
sci.electronics.repair FAQ.

OEM versions of Nero often only work with the drive they are bundled
with.

Gonzojohn must be some king of airman, like Terhune & Badour— & flying
upside down or sideways! I'm surprised Terhune didn't explain it!
