I purchased a 10 pack verbatim 800mb/90min discs but my computer wont recognize them other than the standard 700mb/80 min discs?? I wonder if there are some production fault or must I change something on laptop for the optic drive to read them correct? Help.......
what is your optic drive? check to see if there is a firmware update for that drive to read 800mb disks.

the drive is matshita bd-cmb uj141a but these 800mb discs have been around for many years so I would asume they should be a part of older FW as well.
