mmalves Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 I 20:48:21 Destination Device: [3:1:0] HP DVD Writer 1040d EH23 (E:) (ATA)I 20:48:21 Destination Media Type: DVD+R DL (Disc ID: MKM-001-00) (Speeds: 2.4x) Where are your Verbatim blanks made? Singapore? India? It's printed in the box/spindle/packaging. If you've cleaned the drive's lens and it still can't burn the best dual-layer media then your burner is defective or something. You could ask HP for a firmware update (it really needs one) or you could get a decent burner like a Pioneer or Optiarc for little more than a 20-disc Verbatim spindle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordFRZA Posted June 17, 2009 Author Share Posted June 17, 2009 (edited) Singapore I will look into firmware from hp right now...... .......Nothing on the site. Emailed them and now waiting on a response. Edited June 17, 2009 by lordFRZA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordFRZA Posted June 17, 2009 Author Share Posted June 17, 2009 response was grim. No firmware. No updates. So I guess it's a new writer. I was looking at some of those brands listed above. Where is a good place to get a good one and not get hosed? Should I go to a store or order online? I was leaning more towards a store. It is quicker and all.

mmalves Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 If your HP drive is out of warranty and/or you can't return it, I would try this: http://club.cdfreaks.com/f44/changing-hp-d...-liteon-225961/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xXMaKkXx Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 I just reformatted my computer and now i can't burn any games. Anyone have any ideas? I was burning just fine before I formatted, now it's giving my the kind of error i got when my other burners would crap out. I 08:31:02 ImgBurn Version 2.4.4.0 started!

mmalves Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 I 08:34:28 Destination Device: [1:0:0] HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM GH22NS30 1.01 (G:) (ATA) Update your burner's firmware (remove any disc and close the tray before updating then reboot after it's finished). You might also want to try a lens cleaning disc on that drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXMaKkXx Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 (edited) This worked perfectly two days ago. I reformatted and now it's not working. Ok so the craziest thing just happened. I thought maybe restarting it would work, so i did. then i changed the book type to my LG type drive. It hung up for a second at 50% but then it completed. (maybe just a bad disc?)
