LG optical drive won't burn DVD in AHCI mode
My LG optical drive, model GH22NS40, popularly called "Super Multi DVD Rewriter", running on Windows 7 64 bit, will not burn a DVD-R if the SATA controller is in AHCI mode. All other optical drive functions work OK -- reads and burns CD-R, reads DVD. Attempting to burn DVD using Windows 7 Explorer gives this error:
Dialog name: Burn to Disc
Insert a disc
"There is no disc in the CD or DVD burner.
Please insert a writable disc into drive d:."
Switching to IDE mode in motherboard BIOS solves the problem. However this causes all SATA devices to work in IDE mode. I have several SATA hard drives, so would prefer running them in AHCI mode.
