DVD Writer Won't Work

by ricbar Apr 25, 2004 6:08AM PDT

My internal Dual-Format DVD ReWritable Drive recently stopped recognizing disks. Whether I try to read or write. It worked faily well until I installed new firmware. I would like to uninstall the firmware but can't figure out how. I tried System Restore but none of the restore dates would work. The Device Manager says that it is working properly. But whenever I put a disk into it, it prompts me to insert a disk. Any suggestions??

No "uninstall" for firmware.

To change firmware, you simply program the unit with the version of firmware you want to go to.

I tried to get new firmware but couldn't find it for my burner. I'll keep looking.

What's your Operating System. . .

XP has a driver roll back function.

Open Control Panel, System, Hardware tab, Device Manager. Click CD/DVD Drives, highlight the drive in question, right click, click Properties. Click the Driver tab, select Rollback Driver.

Good luck,

My operating system is XP. I tried to roll back but there is nothing to roll back to. Thanks for the advice anyhow.
