Weird Driver Problem...!!

[Nuriko]

Hello,

I have LG LS55 Express laptop and my driver can read CD/DVD-R but whenever I insert a DVD-R it says "please insert disc into driver".....so I guessed it needed an update so I went to the official LG website to check the drivers they had but didn't know which one to get!!!
please help,do I need an update?

PS: I have "LG intelligent update" CD but it doesn't work when I insert it!! (it should be working, I know nothing bad happend to it)....

Go Start>Control Panel, then double click on Device Manager icon. See, if your DVD drive is listed there.

Ok, I just descoverd that my driver CAN read DVDs but CAN'T write DVDs.....but I desprately NEED to burn some DVDs!!!!!

if you know any good software that can ignore the fact that my driver can't write DVDs and burn them...I'd really appreciate it.

Well, if it's DVD-R (reader) only, it won't write.
It has to be DVD-RW.
