Windows Media Player DVD/CD Burning Problem!!!! Help!!!

I have encountered a pretty big problem. As I continue to try to burn dvd's or cd's using Windows Media player or even iTunes, I am completely unsuccessful. I know for sure that there is a problem because in iTunes I receive a messages that reads "Disc Burner or Software Not Found!". I am positive this is the same problem that I am experiencing with Windows Media Player but I have no idea what to do. I tried looking up a fix online already but all I found was a program called Daemon Tools that I tried to download and was unsuccessful. Also not only to blank CD's not register but also any regular Data CD's I try to put into my computer.

If anyone could please help me I would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks guys!!!

I had the same problem. Installed SPTD 1.50 and that fixed it. good luck

This is a hardware problem! Try this : insert a blank CD and not DVD in the drive. Open the drive, and see if it shows 702 MB free. if it doesn't your DVD-RW is faulty. if it shows the free space, burn any data onto it using default windows burning utility. if everything goes well, reinstall your CD/DVD Burning software, else, replace your DVD-RW...! All the best!

I downloaded that and it didnt work...What did you do after you downloaded the program? It just worked as soon as you installed the program? Not the case for me.

I tried inserting a blank cd as well and no luck. My drive doesnt even show up under my computer when I insert disc.

Its an hardware issue for sure. If your DVD-RW is under warranty, you can get a replacement/repairing done for free from the manufacturer's service center. If its warranty period expired, you need to buy a new DVD-RW.
