Hi,
I have LG 8167B Dual Dvd writer and a LG DVD Reader in home.Whenever I put any DVD in my dvd writer it is not doing autorun.It just read as "cd drive" if i click,it says "please insert disk in [x] drive" however there is dvd in the tray.If i restart windows with dvd's inside the tray,it is getting detected after reboot.I dont know y it is happening.It is working fine with the dvd reader.

But I am able to write dvd using nero even if it shows "cd drive"
The problem happens only when I read them.

I have the latest firmwares installed for both.Can anyone tell me y it is happening so?

Get Ready
Your DVD Writer's lense might :mad:take off anytime
Plan a cleaning of your lense using the tools available in the market
Also please change the IDE address bus you are using to connect the DVD Writer to your Motherboard
