dvd burner does not install

[pomwowpow]

My lg-4163b burner used to work until I installed Roxio Creator 2009, after I uninstalled this my burner would not be recognized by Vista64 at all .Vista tries to install drivers for the burner and ata channel 0 but at the end gives an error of Roxio cdr4 cannot be found , is there a way I can get back my usual drivers for this burner to get working again? Should I install that Roxio garbage over and uninstall it again? I've tried everything any help appreciated.I have the ep45-ud3l gigabyte board.Thks

Re: dvd burner does not install

You hit the nail on the head. Roxio Garbage. Try Reinstalling it or uninstalling it. I have used many roxio products and the way it "takes over" windows is rediculas. One time I has some garbage program of theres on and I could not "Insert Disk 2" of any installations because of some crap roxio error. I just uninstalled everthing roxio, deleted all registry relating to roxio and bang it worked again.

The Easiest thing you could do it simply do a system restore. It should have created a restore point before installing???? Try it. Or google the error. I did and it came up with bucket loads of stuff. Roxio cdr4 cannot be found - Google Search

Also try this "in control panel, programs and features, uninstall all things roxio and
sonic.

After competely uninstall, go to device manager, right click the optical
drive, choose uninstall.

Reboot. On reboot windows will reinstall the default driver"

Thks for reply I have tried alot of those google fixes , many uninstall of the dvd burner in device manager and still comes up with the cdr4 error it looks like I'll have to install roxio again then uninstall it I've tried everything nothing works.The restore point is long gone now, so I'll try the re-install of roxio Thks
