dvd writer no longer recognised as writer

#1 (**permalink**) 04-12-2007, 02:30 PM

Initially my dvd writer on my Acer Aspire notebook works fine,
but when I active media center on Vista it is no longer recongised as a
writer.
It shows an error "no burner attached'.

In de device manager it shows as a CD-Rom and reports errors with the driver
but when I try to update the driver it reports I already have the latest
version.

I had to go back to factory reset to get it working again.

Could it have anything to do with
[url]http://support.microsoft.com/kb/930194/en-us[/url] ?

Any idea's for a permanent fix ?
