Hello all. I have updated my optorite's firmware twice, and looked for updated drivers as well. That seemd to have fixed the problem temporarily. Here is what the burner does now:
Burns/reads/handles files and music on CD-Rs quite well speedily. CD-Rs are not a problem now.
Refuses to read blank DVDs, ghost writes DVD-Rs (looks like it's writing, but nothing gets burned). When idle (no disk inserted) the drive says that's it's a DVD-RW drive, which it is, but the moment I insert a real blank DVD, it changes it's status to a CD-R only. The DVD-R media, well oops, change that, the DVD+R media I use is the same media I always have, even when I had great sucess in burning to DVD.
So, it hates DVDs, has updated firmware, it's not the media, the CD-Rs still work like new. Any suggestions for a quick fix? I am most likely getting either a new DL DVD/DVD-+R/CD-R combo from Plextor or Lite-On when Christmas rolls around, but what should I do till then?
Thanks everyone!
