Normally it would say 'what do i do next?' and I'd click open/cancel. Even bought a new 16x Pioneer DVD+/-RW (as my old one was on the way out anyway) but it's still the same. When I'm in K3B (burning software) and I put in a DVD, the disc isn't recognised. But if I have the blank in the drive BEFORE starting K3B it will be recognised and I can burn to it. Already burned CD/DVD's are fine, I can read them no problem. Is this maybe a bug in a past Gutsy update? Javad Ayaz wrote: > apologies.
