When I insert a blank DVD into the drive, the icon changes from DVD-RAM
Drive to CD Drive and a windows opens up asking what I
would like to do with the CD. After I eject the blank DVD, the icon
returns to displaying DVD-RAM Drive. However, when I insert a DVD
video into the drive, it will be recognized as such. A DVD data
disc is correctly displayed as DVD ROM. The drive reads any disk I
insert, and the drive is also recognized by most of my DVD burning
software. I've also updated to the latest firmware for the drive.
I've checked online and this problem seems to have existed for
years with Windows XP.
The question is, why does the icon change to CD Drive when I insert a blank
DVD disc and then only give me options for working with a CD?

Make: LG; Model: GH22LP20. Their website was no help at all; I'm also
waiting for a response from their customer service dept. I didn't specify my
hardware because this situation has also occurred with HP, Pioneer and other
manufacturers over the past few years. I think it's an XP issue, not
hardware-based. I asked this question in another newsgroup but didn't get a
solution there.

So this is "normal" behaviour for XP?

You will have to get burning software. Some is free, like Ashampoo 2010,
Nero 9 Lite, and CDburnerXP Pro.

Stop spamming the newsgroups. All it does it tack on superfluous text and
makes you look foolish as though anyone is going to believe a post is clean
because it says it is. It makes you their spamming affiliate. This isn't
even a signature (there is no "-- \n" sigdash delimiter) so the spam is
inside the body of your post. Turn the option off to spamify your posts.

Are you directing the comment about spamming newsgroups to me?
