DVDA won't recognize Bluray/DVD burner

Hello,
When I try to burn a DVD using DVD Architect Pro 5.2 my burner (LG Electronics 10X Internal SATA Blu-ray Disc Rewriter WH10LS30) is not showing up in the device list. The only option is for making an ISO file. I also have Vegas 10 64bit installed and the burner is not recognized by it either. However Vegas does see the burner if using the "Import_Camcorder DVD Disc..." function.

It's a brand new computer, Intel I7 950, 12GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 SE, Vegas Pro 10 (32bit/64bit), Windows 7 Pro 64bit, LG WH10LS30 10X Bluray Burner.

On a side note the computer came with a limited version of Nero and the burner does show up in Nero.

Thanks
Dave P.

This is way out but sometimes the motherboard SATA drivers mess with SATA burners and you must have the latest drivers to correct everything. Happened to me a while back with Gigabyte.

I have the same problem with a slightly different LG model, BH10LS30. Burns for Win 7 64 Windows Explorer when copying files to it, but not DVDA Pro 5.2.
I've tried suggestions from googling the problem including: deleting the "Upper Limits" with regedit, MS's DVD/CD online fixer, unchecking "use legacy disc drivers" in DVDA Preferences/Burning.

Still, when I click Make DVD DVDA goes into deep freeze.

Help!

Hey there- I came across your post while searching for a fix...maybe you could help?
I'm trying to burn a DVDA Blueray project but what happens is: The drive shows up, the burning process starts ok...then it seems to get stuck at 66% for awhile then it finishes and asks "would you like to burn another?" but when I click yes NOW the LG re-writable drive is gone and only the other CD/DVD drive show up.And the disk is still blank! it didn't burn. I think it only burned ISO... something funky is happening It's like something is kicking my re-writer off! ARRGH! any thoughs?

I suggest that you don't cross post. Contribute to the OP's problem by all means, but two threads on a single problem and hijacking someone else's thread make for messy reading.

Had a very similar problem a few years back with a new system. I deleted the burner in device manager, then rebooted letting Windows reload it. Everything worked fine. I will add, as your PC is new, check with your seller that you're not invalidating any warrenty.
