    Default dvd burners fail under win 7

    I Installed Win 7 X64 On my Old Box & since doing so both DVD Burners now wont burn?
    They Work Fine Under XP But win 7 They Fail On every disc No matter What Brand.
    Can only Assume X64 Support is probably limited to newer drives.

    You could try upgrading the firmware of your burner...might work.

    they both have last firmware avail

    i just happened to get one working by turning off DMA mode reads & writes perfectly.
    both drives are pioneers
    IDE 112
    SATA 116

    Its Possible my hardware could be at fault cos of its age
    Asus A8V Deluxe
    AMD X2 X64 4200+
    4Gb DDR 400
    AGP 512MB 7950GT
    2X 1TB HD Raid 0

    You could update IDE & SATA drivers you will find them here. Your chipset is VIA VT8237 but double check.
