Hi. I have a HP Pavilion PC which has a DVD-RW 16X HL-DT-ST DVDRRW
GWA-4166B (Lightscribe DL drive), which came with the PC.
I recently bought some Imation DVD+R DL discs to use for burning
purposes and found that my DVD-ROM does not recognise these discs,
even though it should. Even in programs like ImgBurn they are not
recognised.
I tried updating the firmware for the DVD-ROM but could not tell if it
worked or not after following instructions. It asked for me to
download and burn on CD an .iso file and then boot from this CD. I did
not get any messages about the upgrade during the boot so assumed it
did not work. Can you please advise here? Am I doing something wrong
with the update or do I need a new DVD-ROM even though it should
read/write DL DVD dics?
I subsequently, on the advice of others, bought Verbatim DVD+R DL discs as they told me the Imation ones were not good. ImgBurn still did not recognise the discs.
Some one please help.
Regards.
Btriant.
