Vista does not recognize dvd burner in DVD maker or media center?

I have an asus DRW 1612BL Drive: I see other people are having the same
problem but cannot find a answer anyware?

Double check and reseat all connections.
Verify the jumper settings are correct on all devices on the same channel as
DVD drive.
What does ASUS say about Vista compatibility?

The burner works with other software just not vista programs?

What does device manager show for the drive. I had 2 drives that
disappeared one day. The device manager showed a yellow (gold) circle next
to them. They worked fine in XP, so it had to be something with the Vista
install. It turned out the Upper Filter Lower Filter fix solved the problem
and the drives were visible again. Some other piece of software must have
put those entries in the registry.

I'm having the same issue will all 3 of my burners. 2 are Plextors and 1 is
an NEC/Sony. Ashampoo works as advertised but burning within Vista does not.
I'm always told my blank media needs formatting but can't be formatted.

The problem is with the driver for the JMicro IDE controller.

Out of the box, Vista uses a standard microsoft driver for the JM36x IDE controller and all works fine. A few weeks ago, JMicro released a driver that came through auto updates - this driver is screwy and causes your dvd burner to no longer be seen as a burner by windows.

Go to Device Manager, and look at the properties for your JM36x IDE controller. You need to roll this back to the generic microsoft one. You should be able to click "Rollback Driver" on the properties screen.
