| Lite-on Atapi DVD A DH20A4P won't read blank media
I just purchased the OEM Lite-on Atapi DVD A DH20A4P from Newegg. I installed it and was really excited until I found out the drive will not recognize any blank media put into it (DVD +R, DVD +R DL, CD-R all are unrecognized). When the drive is opened or explored, the computer displays the following prompt: "E:\ is not accessible Incorrect function" I'm running firmware version 9P59, and I am at a loss as far as how to help the drive recognize what is going on. One interesting thing is when blank media is inserted, the drive (looking in My Computer) says it is a CD drive. When no media is in the computer, it says it is a DVD-RAM drive. The drive does play back movies though. Please Help!  | ||

| Re: Lite-on Atapi DVD A DH20A4P won't read blank media Welcome to CD Freaks.  The error you get is normal for blank DVD media, although not for blank CD media [usually]. The drive will switch to "CD Drive" in Explorer with a blank DVD inserted. The drive will show as a DVD-RAM drive in Explorer with no disc inserted--as it is a DVD-RAM drive [in addition to the other things]. Try with a dedicated burning software such as ImgBurn to see if the drive will recognize blank CD-R properly. It could be that your drive is just not set up to record CDs with Windows' built in burn engine--which is how most of us around here recommend it.
