i've had my burner for a couple of months now, it has just only decided to stop working, it won't pick up any of my dvd disks, it will pick up a normal cd-r fine but not dvd im using nero 5 and the burner is a MSI + and -
What is the Brand of DVD media? Model number on burner? Is the media new or have you used this media before?
the brand is datawrite the colour is grey DR8-A (MS or M5 8408A always have used nero 5 and just any general dvd software i use, e.g making my own movies, it doesnt pick up the disk
I was asking is the brand of DVD media you are using is new? Even if the brand isn't new is it a new package (just opened)?
its not new no, it works fine when i format the pc and then after a while it will stop and then suddenly start working but this time it hasnt seemed to start working
On this page is a firmware update for your drive. It is the second download on that page. Download and install this http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/driver/dvr/spt_firmware_list.php?part=5&kind=37&CHIP=37&ID=5 That could solve your problems.
You don't have to go to your bios.. Just download the file and follow these instructions.. How to use: 1. Extract the file and Copy DVFLASH.exe and 150D_SCR.bin to the destination folder. [bold]To make this as easy as possible put the two file in a folder under your C:\ drive called FLASH[/bold] 2. Reboot your PC under real DOS mode and enter the target folder.[bold]To enter DOS when your computer is booting up continue to hit the F8 key and select DOS[/bold] 3. Execute "DVFLASH 150D_SCR.bin".[bold]At the C:\ prompt type "CD\FLASH" hit enter at the next prompt type "DVFLASH" and hit enter[/bold]
well i have uninstalled my driver and reinstalled it and nothing happend still, i will have to try the other way
not got round to it yet, it doesnt pick up any dvd disk i burnt from my racing seasons, and any blank, so i am going to do the fireware
This is what Firmware updates are for!! To recognize otherwise unrecognizable media. This should have been the first step..
