Won't recognize burner in brand new Windows 7 computer

[steveob]

I have used DVD NextCopy for years now with few issues. My HP system finally bit the dust, so I built myself a brand new system with Windows 7. Loaded DNC standard, but it will not recognize my DVD RWs. I have 2 DVDRWs in my system. One is a LG, the other is a Samsung. The only software loaded on this system is Windows 7, Office 2007, AVG, Guitar Pro and DVD NextCopy. I noticed that several other posts have this same issue. Tried those suggestions, but still won't recognize my DVD. I sent in a support ticket Saturday, but they have not replied to that issue yet. This is a brand new system with nothing loaded except the 5 programs above. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Steve

try running the sfc/scannow from command prompt under the start menu start>type command prompt>when it comes up in the window right click and run as admin> type sfc/scannow and hit enter it will take a bit of time but allow it to finish then restart your system

If after you have tried what Chris mentioned and it still not see those DVD drives then can you do a clean install but make sure you have AVG turned off before you install again

This will assist you on main client errors if you do this verbatim.
