    After I got my m1530, I installed Vista x64 and everything was working fine.

    Recently, however, it is now unable to recognize DVD-R/CD-Rs that have data written on them. Whenever I insert a disc, the computer treats it like the disc is blank, even if there is data written on it.

    I have been using the x64 version of InfraRecorder, if that makes any difference.

    The funny thing is, I can burn DVD/CDs just fine in InfraRecorder. I burn a disc, verify it, and then when I try to open it in Windows, I get the "What would you like to do with this blank media disc" message.

    I've tried uninstalling the DVD drivers and then restarting the computer. Didn't work.

    Help?
