It wont let me burn anything

I installed a Lite On LH 20A1P
got the new firmware and flashed it
Device manager says its a DVD-RW...np
but theres no send to E drive on the context menu
it says connect burner and restart in WMP
when I put in a dvd or cd and try to open 2 view its says its 'not accessible'
turned on imapi cd burning service also, was set for automatic tho
whats wrong?

 

Is this a second optical drive you have installed? If so, have you made sure you have one set to master and the other set to slave?

If you want drive E to appear in the right-click SendTo menu, go to Start > Run type sendto (one word) and press Enter, now go to File > New > Shortcut and Browse to the E drive and select it.

 

tysm....had a hunch thats what it was I have em on cable select, will switch to slave....
i remember now...ty!!!
hate those blonde moments...lol cept i think they r leaning towards being senior moments rather than blonde....lol
ty sir

 

The drive can either be IDE connection or SATA connection. If it is IDE, check the jumper setting. The manual recommends setting the drive as master on the secondary IDE controller (port). Manual:

Did the drive work before you upgraded the firmware?

Device Manager does not show the full/correct model number? Check the brand and model number listed on the label of the drive and you that you have used the correct firmware version (some websites may offer modified firmware).

If the problem does not appear to be configuration/jumpers or firmware, check for updated drivers for the drive controllers (IDE and SATA). They will be at the motherboard manufacturer's website and may be bundled with the chipset drivers.
