starting to look like it's your burner doesn't like dvd+rw's

see if another drive can work with those disks before blaming the liteon

[shroomly]

i agree...but i want to know why....its really annoying..there's no reason for this to happen...my burner should support all dvd/cd types..

[Chewy]

did you upgrade the firmware? It might have had a bad flash?

[shroomly]

hehe i dont even know what firmware means....

i've tried to find a new driver for my burner, but it doesnt even say what company my burner is, it came with my computer which i built on pcspecialist.co.uk

so i dont even know if its possible to get a new driver....i think my driver is from 2002...

i found this website....sorry, i know really little about these things? is this what i need to update my dvd drive...? im just afraid of installing the wrong thing and really messing up my pc/dvd drive..

[Chewy]

it's possible it was flashed badly when they built your computer

download that update, extract it and boot into safe mode and with drive empty, execute the firmware upgrade

[shroomly]

just updated, but not in safe mode because i cant load safemode for some misterious reason...

it said it was updating from msop to msor....no idea what that means..

[shroomly]

this is getting rediculous...i've installed the driver which says (2006) on it, then i went to my device manager, clicked the properties of my dvd-ram and under driver, it still says 2002...so obviously it installed nothing.... i really dont get it anymore....

furthermore, my dvd-drive keeps flashing back and forth between CD ROM and DVD RAM... i dont getit...

also, i'vej ust noticed that i have FLOPPY DISK A included in my computer, and it shouldnt be there because i dont have a floppy disk in my PC at all...

[Chewy]

the firmware is not related to the driver, driver comes with the OperatingSystem, generic for all drives.

[shroomly]

ok i understand... well, the same issue is still there then... no idea how to fix it.
