Windows DVD maker says there is no DVD burner installed
I know the burner is hooked up and working because I made recovery discs
successfuly, but when I try to burn a movie its says there is no DVD burner
installed.
How do I get the DVD maker to acknowledge my DVD burner?

Downloading Drivers Fixed My Similar Problem
Hi


Just writing to confirm I had the same problem and solution was to download and run the jmicron drivers from:

ftp://driver.jmicron.com.tw/jmb36x/Win2k_xp_Vista/

ftp://driver.jmicron.com.tw/jmb36x/Win2k_xp_Vista/

that's the short of it.

this is the long of it.

I have gigbyte GA-P35-DS3R motherboard. I didn't realise that I had the offending JMB363 chip anywhere in my computer as there is nothing in the motherboard manual about it. So, First I went to gigabyte site and downloaded anything that looked as if it was an update, but no luck. I knew from the motherboard manual that I had the intel p35 express and ich9r chip so I went to intel and downloaded the latest drivers from there. still no luck. At this point I had already figure to hell with it I'm buying a sata dvd drive. When I was looking at the motherboard review on hardwaresecrets.com (FYI A VERY GOOD SITE for beginngers like myself) I found out I did have the offending jmicron device after all - disguised a gigabyte sata contoller. well I dowloaded the file found the application within the file and ran it. Now the drive works as it should; windows dvd maker recognises the drive; and I'm wondering why I bothered because it ain't that great an application in the the first place ( but it is neccessary if you choose to use windows media center tele recorder instead of something sensable like sagetv). So if you're new to this computer building, as I am, if your problem reads identical to the everyone elses chances are you have the JMB363 chip rebranded in such a way as to make you think the mother board manufacturer made the chip themselves. Chances are jmicro did and chances are you need the update.

Hope this helps.
