You are on the right track but you are looking at the wrong thing.
The DVD is in the drive; in fact the blank DVD is still in the drive.
The DVD RW is physically there.
The computer sees the DVD reader and sees the reader in 3 different R/W
programs.
I can burn iso CDs and DVDs.
Both the CD R/W were replaced with new CD/DVD R/R because of this problem.
The ribbon cables were replaced.
So far we are talking 2 years of changes.
Mom died. I left Florida. Add another 2 years to the time line. So much time
in fact that I have forgotten much of what was done.
It is a definite hardware issue. To many systems installed in this box to much
work and effort for it not to hardware. Which makes it more difficult now due
to location of box.
The only thing that I can think of is that hda=3,1,0 and hdb=3,64,0 which to
me says that the ribbon cables are crossed.
One would normally expect hda=1,1,0 and hdb=1,2,0 which is not what I have. So
I am assuming since it is virtually the only thing left is that the mother
board does not see the burner because the ribbon cables are crossed.
If that is not the issue then there is something really strange going on.
As an apology I did not recall all this when I made the initial posting as it
has been over a year since I have even touched the box.
Thanks

PS I anyone has any thoughts on the above being plausible please let me know.
