THere's an icon saying that I could continue anyway but not recommended?

Now getting "unable to find any cells that could be used for the layer break" ??

Ok.  Any idea for what could be the reason for the sudden change to where after a couple discs, they are now unrecognizable? Assuming I need a type of software to "clean the drive?"

In Imgburn, under discovery, reads:   hp DVDRW DU8A6SH DH61 (SATA)    Current Profile: N/A

To me, it appears that there is a setting on the cd-rom or dvd drive itself preventing the recognition of the blank disks since three different burn programs are not recognizing the blank disk philips dvd+r dl rw disks. I was able to burn the dvd's a day or two before on these disks. The confusing is, i'm able to put in, and the program recognizes a dvd-r single layer disk, but doesn't have enough space for the burn. Seems the only issue is the dvd+r dl rw.

I 07:18:48 ImgBurn Version 2.5.8.0 started!

The above is all that reads in the log since it's not recognizing the blank dvd. 

At the Bottom of Imgburn; the program says: "Device Not Ready (Medium Not Present-Tray Open)"

I Close The Tray, Program Says: "Device Not Ready: Logical Unit In the process of becoming ready" then says: "Incompatible Medium Installed" 

It's not recognizing the disc. 

Please let me know if this is not what you're asking for, I'm not very tech inclined.

From a search online, apparently the firmware version is in this description:

 

SCSI\CDROM&VEN_HP&PROD_DVDRW__DU8A6SH\4&142C02EC&0&010000

Thanks for responding. I'm not sure If this is what is being requested, however, under Device manager, DVD/CD-ROM drives: hp_DVDRW__DU8A6SH 

And beneath Firmware: System Firmware and nothing more when double clicking on System Firmware. 

Truly appreciate any suggestions on how to resolve this issue.

I searched for firmware updates with 97 results, so I'm not sure what to do there.

I was able to burn a couple of dvd's with the philips dvd + r dl but now doesn't recognize the disk. I'm not sure if there were changes made to the settings by accident that I'm not aware of. 

Any ideas to why it worked at first, but now does not?
