I have an LG HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GH22NS40, it was working properly before, but after i had refrmatted my pc and re install the drive, my pc recognises it just a cd-rom, explorer shows it is a dvdram but when i insert a disc it changes icon to cd-rom. someone help me please!! thanks!!! jeffoy_magiting.
The media you add is a DVD correct? If so, your DVD drive driver seem to not be working right. I would take the drive out and boot the pc without it in. Then shut it down and re-install the drive. If this doesnt fix the issue, try re-installing the drivers for your DVD drive. You might want to open device manager and uninstall the drivers before re-installing them. I had this happen to me once and this is how I got it working properly again.
Go to the LG site and download the latest firmware for that model and your operating system.
I tried but there site is under construction or destruction or something...
a copy of PowerDVD would be good too.

try removing it and then switching on computer make sure the icon has gone, restall and recheck icon. this sometimes works most of the time.let me know how you get on. mister dj

Nothing to worry about, it all depends on what type of disc is in the drive at the time.

Greetings.
I have exactly the same problam as Jeffrey_anor, my DVDRAM device (LG HL-DT-ST
DVDRAM GH22NS40) is recognized as a CD reader, not even as a burner, by Windows XP pro SP3.
However, CDBurnerXP can burn files without any problem... Strange problem indeed.
I tried to visit LG's website but this model doesn't seem to have any downloadable firmware =/
Thanks !
