| My dvd/cdrw drive doen't copy Hi, First time here and I must start saying my "tech language" might be somewhat weak... So here goes my illeteracy! I have a HL -Dt -ST RW/DVD GCC 4240N installed from origin on a IBM ThinkPad (a quite old model, 2000 I think) that suddenly decided not to allow me to copy or record any data (music, files, photos, whatever on a CD recordable). It somehow became apparently only a reading drive - reads cd's, dvd's, game cd's, etc.. I started "googling" around and have already checked that the drive is compatible with the XP Home Edition I am using, that Hitachi-LG does not give firmware or controllers updates or support to customers and advises the general public (me!) to contact the product seller. What's happening? Can I get a solution out of a "simple" update, firmware (something I had not even heard of before)?!.... I'll be available for giving more important data that you may consider important. Thanks. Best regards, Dimitris Athens, Greece |

| Re: My dvd/cdrw drive doesn't copy Thanks, chef! Since I 'm not very familiar with disabling the IMAPI burn engine, could you or anyone else kindly guide me? Hope it is not too much time consuming for you to explain... I know, my comp. skills are very basic... best regards |
