I have a new (2 weeks) G75VW, Best Buy special with the slow HD. It has a CD/DVD Burner that is listed in Device Manager only as 'HD-DT-ST DVDRAM' no model number is seen by Windows 8. I have been unable to get this drive to burn CD's using ITUNES while it will burn ok with Media Player and Nero Express. Trying to determine where the problem is; drivers, firmware, ITUNES, registry, etc.

When searching for HD-DT-ST on the internet I see most every post is followed by a model number. Is Windows 8 not seeing one for this drive or is there no model number on the drives installed in the G75VW? The forums for Windows 8 as well as the Windows 8 Support Group and ITUNES (Apple) Support have not been much help. I have found an entry in the registry that ITUNES seems to look for (if it isn't there with high and low filters listed ITUNES say I need to reinstall it but when I do that the installation does not change or add the required entries). Beginning to think the 'I' in ITUNES stands for 'Idiot'.
Odd, I have a GT51N Hitachi Burner, and all it sees with brand new CDs or DVDs are full disks, not empty ones. I put them in, it spits them out asking me to insert a writable disk. I'm beginning to want to write to that burner with a hammer. I'm running Win 7 Home Premium on a G75VW. Everything says it's working just fine; but it clearly isn't. I'm trying to burn a Linux rescue disk on this Laptop to take over to my Desktop that has all my documents and pictures on it, but suddenly won't boot. It won't start Windows in Safe Mode with any options at all, and it won't start normally either, though it says it's staring, then goes to a blank screen, forever.I can get to the bios and setup on the desktop to tell it to boot from the DVD player instead of the HDD, but that won't do me any good at all unless I can get this ROG thing to burn a simple DVD.
Any suggestions?
