Erasing Disk

[kevinwright2010]

Help! I tried to burn a DVD for the first time using a SONY 4.7gb DVD RW but the laptop appeared to give up after completing only 5% of the process.

 

I killed the process as it seemed to hang at this point.

 

I have copied the message log here and should be grateful for any advice:

 

I am sorry if this is the wrong place to post but am not sure where to turn.

Update the firmware on the drive and try again.

If it still doesn't work, try with some other DVD+RW discs (non 'SONY-S11-00' dye).
