also make shure that the dvdburner is a master on an ide channel, it doesnt matter so much about cd writers, but the dvd burners need more bandwith. if you are running your harddisk and the dvd burner of one ide channel, see if there is another ide cable around and use that for the dvd burner.

Go to this link,
www.liteonit.com

Download the latest firmware for your drive, follow the instructions exactly.

Liteon are very good in regard to updating their drives firmware (normally every month or two) to support the influx of different dvd media flooding the market at the moment.

I only wish that all manufacturers took this approach in regard to support.


Regards

AC

333976 2005-03-14 22:31:00 Well mine (same model) doesn't have a problem and I haven't updated the firmware.
Something obvious - with Nero I can select DVD drive or CD drive as the "drve" its going to use. Its not trying to write to the DVD thinking its a CD?
