Boot Disk Sees DVD Drive as CD

Thread needs solution

Bought a new laptop and trying to make an image. When booting from the recovery CD, it lists my DVD drive as a CD, and will only allow CD media to be used. Inserting a DVD disk will result in a disk full error. If I boot into Windows 7, the drive shows properly as DVD and I am able to burn DVD media as proper. I used Build 6514 to create the boot disk.

Try DVD-R rather than RW or other variants.

Thank you tuttle but same results. I tried -R and +R. Neither makes a difference. When choosing the backup location, the directory tree shows E: CD-RW. This seems like a driver issue.
