Windows XP Pro thinks DVD-RW drive is a DVD-RAM drive

by sara . Updated 18 years, 6 months ago

I recently had to do a Recovery Install of Windows. Now it is showing my DVD-RW Drive (Optiarc AD-7173A) as a DVD-RAM drive and won’t let me move files onto a CD-RW.

I’ve tried uninstalling the drive, removing the secondary IDE in Device Manager and tried to enable recording (there’s no recording tab, so that didn’t work).

Any ideas? It’s driving me mad 🙂
