Hi

Suddenly my Pioneer DVR-105 will not write to a dvd-r disk. It will read cd's and dvd's. I have a Pioneer DVR-104 model installed in a pyro external drive kit and it does the same thing.
Yes, these UNITS are old but before I purchase a new writer I would like to know if I'll just run into the same problem.

Microsoft XP Version 2002 Service pack 2

Thanks for any help!!
So both your DVD WRITERS have stopped working at the same time?
When did this happen?
Have you added or REMOVED any software or hardware or made any other changes?Hi:

I added a program called EZ vinyl converter which came with the Ion turntable used for converting records to MP3, and Audacity.

Thanks for any helpTry uninstalling that program to see if your Pioneer DVR-105works again.I uninstalled both programs but no joy.Maybe one of these will work:

1. HTTP://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060

2. http://aumha.org/downloads/cdgone.zip

3. Go to DEVICE Manager, click a "+" sign next to IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers.
You'll see two items:
- ATA Channel0 (or Primary Channel)
- ATA Channel1 (or Secondary Channel)
Right click on each of them, and click Uninstal. Confirm.
Restart Windows. They'll be automatically reinstalled.
