    I have a slimtype DVDRW SDW-431S DVD burner on my laptop. When I put in some RITEKG05 DVD-R disks to try and burn them the icon for the drive goes from DVD-RW drive to listing it as CD Drive with 0 free space and total capacity. I have tried to change the write strategies to make it work but it still does not recognise the disks. It does not have this problem with other DVD's or CD's. Anyone have any ideas on how to solve this problem.
