I have a Dell Precision Workstation M4800 This Workstation has an internal CD/DVD RW Drive as follow: H.L Data Storage Super Multi DVD Writer Model: GS40N (HL-DT-ST DVD+-RW GS40N) Until fairly recently I have been able to Create a System Repair Disc by using this drive and a blank disc. Now when I try to create the disc I get the following note: "The System Repair Disc could not be created - Windows did not find a CD/DVD Burner" So can you please tell me where the CD/DVD Burners gone?

Because a third party program (Roxio) does not recognize the drive as having burning capabilities the "Backup and Restore (Windows 7)" does not appear to be part of the problem. Can you go to the following registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CD Burning\Drives If you expand "Drives" click on any "Volume" sub-key that exists. For each "Drive" in the adjacent right window is a value "IsImapiDataBurnSupported" For each "IsImapiDataBurnSupported' value what is the "Data" ?

It looks as if I have only one "IsmapiDataBurnSupported" value, and that is "0x00000000 (0)". See below:

Can you change the "IsmapiDataBurnSupported" value to 1 : Double-click "IsmapiDataBurnSupported" and change the Value date to 1 > OK Create a System Restore Point beforehand and you may have have to restart the computer afterwards.

Restore Point created. "IslmapiDataBurnSupported" Value change to "1". Restart not asked for. See Below:

Does the system now recognize the drive as a recording device?

Double-click "IsmapiDataBurnSupported" and change the Value date to 1 > OK
