Can you read the burned DVD's completely? If yes, then what's the problem?

What will you read in blank DVD's? They are called blank because they have nothing. :)

Right-click on your ROM drive and on Recording tab check enable CD recording on this drive.
Another problem may there will be two admin accounts.If there try accessing the drive from both accounts.

If solved reply.

Thats not a problem i believe.It normally takes DVD as a CD Drive.But it wont create any prob in writing DVD .

Hi,
there is no issue . In some dvd drives this error will come up when u will try to open a blank dvd.
