I'm having 'incompatible format' with the same drive and on a Sony Vaio VGG-CR590 laptop.
My firmware is 1.01 already.
Were you able to write Verbatim media?
I tried RIDATA also and lost 2 medias, on my previous HP laptop, I was able to burn +- 20 games without loose 1 media.
I'll try to find this Verbatim media and test also.
