I am new to this, so sorry if this is a really dumb question. My drive is an HP DVD Writer 840b ED56. I found something that said the OEM is LG, but when selecting this book type the current setting field says:

 

Unknown (FAILED!)

Reason: Invalid Command Operation Code

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks!

Either the drive just doesn't support the commands then or your drivers are blocking them. This is common if the drive shows up as '(SCSI)' or '(RAID)' in the disc info panel on the right.

Is there any solution?

Do you see SCSI or RAID in the log? Like this example

It's a re badged LG GSA-4166B, so if the commands fails for LG the first words in post #2 is the issue.

 

It seems it's possible to flash it to a "genuine" LG - but the warranty will be gone and also the drive might be harmed.

Another option is to replace it with another drive.

 

The log you posted from the TSSTcorp DVD+-RW TS-T633A drive shows that it was book typed to DVD-ROM.
