dvd disks no longer recognised

[p_vassilis]

Hello people.....

I have an LG GSA-4081B DVD recorder for a couple of months now and I have burned several DVD's succesfully. Suddenly the drive stopped recognising DVD's. Both commercial and burned. CD's are recognised normally. The only thing I did was installing a codec from Pinnacle. Actions taken:
Uninstalled the codec, upgraded the DVD firmware.
My PC runs Win2k Server, sp4 and I use Roxios Creator Platinum 6.0
Any ideas?????

Thank you in advance

like TP told, try the drive in another PC; the drive itself could be faulty;
some DVDROM and DVDRW models having two separated optical parts, one for CDs and one for DVDs; it's reasoned in a different laser wavelength;
