    do you have any other CD-ROM etc installed, try changing the DVD writer as the primary device! also make sure you install the correct drivers...

    whats the DVD writer called? company? your operating system?

    If youve got a dvd write you'd might as well take the other one out!
    It reads everything and write everything.

    first uninstall the DVD writer from the Device Manager, them turn of the computer, take out any other cd-rom, cdr drives, and ONLY leave the DVD writer in, and then install the drivers for the device, let us know if you still have problems!
