When I put in a blank DVD of any kind my DVD drive changes to CD drive. I am
unable to burn any to a DVD. This is a new problem for me. I have been able
to burn in the past with no problem.Everything in my device manager is fine.
Can someone please help me.

Can it read DVDs? Also XP didn't come with DVD burning software, it
would be added by the PC manufacturer if the burner came with the
system. Is that software still functioning?

I can play DVD movies no problem. Any kind of DVD, CD, CD-ROM put in works.
Just not Blank DVD's. All software is working fine.

Then it is and issue with the software that was installed for you to
burn DVD's.

Another possibility: The DVD Reader/Writer doesn't like the blank media. Not
all DVDs are created equal, and not all will work in all equipment. Some
media gets changed with new batches.

Also, it might be prudent to see if there are any firmware updates.
