I have a Nec DVD_rw 1300A external Dvd Burner that has quit working. Anytime I put a blank DVD in the burner it flips out and says it a cd drive and wont recognize the media. It recognizes dvd movies fine but not blank dvds. A friend recently bought a brand new comp. a pretty cool dual drive, I set up windows on it then out of curiosity I stuck a blank dvd into his brand new internal burner and it did the same thing, said it was a cd drive. I heard that it could possibly be a problem with xp sp2 so I uninstalled my SP2 and tried again. Same thing. I read around on forums and read to try nero infotool and make sure that the aspi was installed. My system aspi was not but the nero aspi was so I found the aspi installed it and tried again and still same issue. At least nero now sees sytem aspi and lists them.

Someone please help Im frazzling my brain trying to fix this.
