DVDRW IDE a089

[tlhamilton]

Hello! I have a dvdrw ide a089 (16x). I bought the the program 123 Copy DVD. It will not recognize my burner and they are saying I possibly need to update my firmware for my burner but, I do not know where to get the firmware. My computer is Frys brand and the only other info I can find on my burner is that on the cover it says DVD Dual Double Layer. I am also using XP. Thank you in advance!

that will let you Download Nero CD-DVD Speed and you will be able to figure out what type of burner you have. The little menu almost at the top middle.

then after you figure out what type of burner you have go to

that should do it. Dont believe I left anything out. If I did im sure blue or someone else will fill in.

Thank you for your suggestions, I did the Nero CD-DVD Speed and at the top of it is still just said DVDRW IDE 16x A089. So I am still not sure what mine is. I do have Nero Express 6, but it will not let me back up my dvds so I am not sure if I will have a problem with the other burner programs or not. And not cheap to keep buying programs that will not work...haha. Thanks again!

you might try A187, but don't get your hopes up

is the computer still on warranty, I would return the burner for one that works

nero 6 works fine for burning, shrink and other programs prepare the files first
