Some Windows users see a "Disk burner not found" error when trying to burn an image to the hard drive using the native Image Burner client (isoburn.exe).

After investigating this specific issue, it turns out that there are several possible culprits that could be causing this specific issue:

• DVD-ROM does not have a recording function
• Windows 10 problem
• Explorer.exe is stuck in limbo
• Incorrect/damaged DVD-RW driver
• IsoBurn.exe expects an empty hard drive

Use the hardware and devices troubleshooter

We suggest that you run the Hardware and Peripherals troubleshooter to identify the problem.

Follow these troubleshooting steps:

• Press “Windows Key + W”.
• Type “fix problems” without quotes in the search box and hit Enter.
• In the troubleshooting window, select Hardware and Sound.
• In the Peripherals section, select the Hardware and Peripherals option.
• Follow the instructions on the screen.

Make sure the disk is writable

Before trying any other solutions, it's a good idea to start troubleshooting by determining whether your CD or DVD writer is writeable. Please note that if you are burning a CD or DVD using a standard ROM drive, none of the following possible solutions will work.

To understand if your current optical drive can burn CDs and DVDs, basically open Explorer, go to that computer, and look at the desired DVD drive name on the right side of the screen.

If the name of the optical drive includes the abbreviation RW (read-write), you should be able to write to hard drives using the built-in write utility (isoburn.exe).

Update Registry Editor settings

1. Close all open programs.
2. Open regedit.exe by running it as administrator.
3. Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SYSTEM CurrentControlSet Control Class ….… {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
4. There must be one or both UpperFilters and LowerFilters.
5. Click UpperFilters, Modify Delete.
6. Click LowerFilters, Edit Clear.
7. Close the regedit trees and close regedit.
8. Open Device Manager and remove the DVD/CD drive.
9. Stop
10. Reboot and the DVD/CD drive should return with auto detection.

Use Windows Media Player

We suggest that you use Windows Media Player to record images. Please follow the instructions below:

• Open Windows Media Player.
• In the player library > Recording tab > select
• Engraving options.
• Select Audio CD, Data CD, or DVD.
• Insert a blank CD into your CD or DVD burner. (Select the drive you want to use if your computer has multiple CD or DVD drives.)
• In the player library, find the items you want to burn to disc and drag them to the list box (right in the player library) to create a burn list.
• When you are finished with the listing, select Start recording.

Note. If necessary, click the Delete List button to delete all items from the previous record listing.
