    When I try to insert a DVD to my XPSm1530, Vista always say it is a blank CD (which is not) and ask to format it. I thought because it is a DVD-R, I just say ok, but the content on the DVD gone when I did that. Is this the Vista problem or my XPS problem? Any suggestion? Thanks...

    No one have problem like I do? :cry:

    But the good news I already solved this problem (After 3 hours googling). :yes:
    I disable the burning function in Vista, and viola..
    All my CD / DVD works fine. :wub:

    Howto:
    Go to regedit,
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
    Search noCDBurning, and put the value = 1 there.
