    My hdx16 can't access this option for some reason. i have a Blu-Ray ROM with SuperMulti DVD+/-R/RW Double Layer.This always show up "This computer does not have a drive capable of creating CD's or DVDs". When i purchased this computer, i bought the recovery dvds too so im not worried, but i want to know why this computer is having this issue from the recovery manager. What seems to be the problem here? thanks

    Make sure you have the correct and latest drivers for your optical drive.

    If you can't burn a recovery disc it may be that the Cyberlink MediaLibrary Service has control of your CD/DVD drive.

    Click start, click run, type msconfig and hit enter. Click on the startup tab, scroll down to Cyberlink MediaLibrary Service.

    Uncheck the box next to it, click apply, click OK and reboot.

    You should now be able to create your recovery discs, but now you won't be able to burn any other disks until you go back and put a check in the box to start the Cyberlink MediaLibrary Service.
