Heres the crack :
Somone in my family insists on havin I-tunes on the PC. I hate it personally but now my CD burners fucked. Windows media is no where to be seen either. The burning software i use (sonic, record now) says it cant find the drive what so ever!
I’ve looked on the device manager and got a fault code 41. It says :
WTF?
well its there in front of me FFS! It hasnt been taken out or messed about with ETC.
The CD-rom drive is a NEC_DVD_RW-2510A
I would be quite happy gettin rid of I-tunes but then others prob wouldnt be. Anyone shine some light on this i would be grateful!
First check all the cables are plugged in correctly [although rare this does happen]
Then check your Bios to make sure it is being seen by the motherboard
Download and run Ccleaner [in safe mode] to clear the junk off your drives. Reboot the machine and then go back to ccleaner, go to issues and ask it to check your registry for issues. It may take a while if you have been running the install for a while. It will ask you if you want it to back up the registry – always do this [the software is very good but accidents happen]
If its still not working I would uninstall I tunes and any other cd related pieces of software which dont work, uninstall the cd burner drivers and then reinstall them in the order of cd burner drivers [check for the latest ones on the manufacturer’s website] and then the software. Create a system restore after each piece of hardware/software has been installed and is working as this will allow you to roll back to the working version and save you time should something not work. If at the end of the install process you are still struggling let me know 😉
[tbh sounds like someone has messed with the pc somehow [possibly by accident or in ignorance] and this is the fastest way to fix it IMO]
