Can't Change Book Type - LG WH14NS40 Drive


JS1410

Recommended Posts

I cannot change the "Book Type" on my LG WH14NS40 Blu-ray drive.  I am using Verbatim DVD+R (DL) media.  Everytime I try to change to "DVD-ROM" from "DVD+R DL" I get the error message "Failed - Reason: Invalid Field in CDB"

 

What am I doing wrong?

Still get the same error.  I cannot change the "Book Type".  Everytime I try to change to "DVD-ROM" from "DVD+R DL" I get the error message "Failed - Reason: Invalid Field in CDB"

 

The LG WH14NS40 drive was updated to the latest version of firmware 1.00-N1 before I ran ImgBurn.  The LG drive is connected to an ASUS P8Z77-I motherboard with an Intel i5 3.5GHz processor, 16 GB of RAM and Microsoft Windows 7 Professional x64.  All software and firmware is up-to-date. I have never had a problem with this LG drive it reads and writes everything like a champ.  No problems with other aspects of ImgBurn - I just cannot change the "Book Type".

It must be something in your software or the drive itself, because I connected a Samsung external (USB) DVD writer/drive that I use for my ultra-book, and was easily able to change the "Book Type". 

 

Drive Info:

SAMSUNG Model SE-S084F/RSBS Black External CD/DVD Drive

It seems to be working... I am burning a DVD now.  I will post again if does not work.  However, you may wish to look into the compatiblity with the LG WH14NS40 drive.

The LG tab works just fine for me with a BH16NS48.

 

If it really doesn't work, maybe it's due to the firmware your WH14 is running - or the controller it's attached to.

Hey LLIGHTNING UK! do you have one of these drives, If so why havent you done a reveiw in the Drives topics on this forum?
