Wont write to +R Media

[Chala]

Can someone please help me, my burner is not writing to +R media it has been working great

with -R media for years, never tried -R till now. I am using the LITE-ON DVDRW SHW-160P6S. I

tried writing to +R Maxell which I use in -R all the time, I also tried the horrible Memorex -R. I

have tried using Nero 9 Reloaded as well as Image Burn, both have failed. I have the updated

firmware installed from this location

If the drive won't detect the media then there probably isn't much you can do besides trying to clean it and hope it then works.

 

You could try the various different DVD+RW dyes, maybe one will work.

 

Failing that, buy a new drive.
