Booktype trouble

[elars213]

I have a SONY DVD RW AW-G540A 1.W0 (ATA). About two weeks I backed up a few of my movies. I had no trouble getting them set to dvd-rom, I believe I went to the Lite-on tab, and clicked "current media" and set that to dvd-rom. Now when I try again, and click change it says "Invalid code operation". I'm using +R's and current media(for DVD+RW media) is the only option that doesnt say "unknown(failed)". Of course thats a problem as I'm using +R and not +RW, but it worked before. Though the current media says +RW it has a current setting" of +R. Why does it say "failed" for every other option under "change for"?

according to Liggy, the nec firmware guru that drive is

but do yourself a favor and save that drive for essential tasks and get an external one for everyday burning

 

those internals are hard to replace and configure properly and almost impossible to flash safely

 

dvd burners in a laptop were a very bad idea

Maybe but who would buy laptop without one.

 

It also depends on which burner you get.

 

They are a lot cheaper now to replace than they used to be but It would be better if they stuck in a drive that was as consistent as some of the external drives.

One of the best slimline's was the nec 6550
