Can't format/burn DVD+RW

[Sierra]

I'm trying to burn a DVD to DVD+RW discs and it won't work with any program I try, with ImgBurn it won't even format it, what is wrong? Here is my log:

Hi and welcome to the forum, Sierra!

 

Is it a brand new disc or has it been heavily used before?

[Sierra]

It's a brand new disc. I've tried other discs as well and the same thing comes up. Thanks for the welcome.

There is a later firmware LL0D

Might be worth a try to update

 

If you update it

 

No disc in the device

Tray closed

All other programs closed

Look for updated drivers for your motherboard's chipset, since it seems the format/erase command is being blocked before reaching the drive.

I got the updated firmware for the drive but it still isn't formatting so it can burn. How do I find an updated driver for my motherboard's chipset?

[mmalves]

Use SIW to discover your motherboard brand and model, then Google for the manufacturer's website: there you'll find the latest drivers for all your motherboard's devices

[Sierra]

Ok I found out the motherboard is ASUS P5B and I downloaded what I think is the latest driver and installed it but it didn't make a difference either.

The drive must be on the jmicron controller as the 965 chipset doesn't have an IDE port.

 

You need to make sure you're running the latest motherboard bios first and then installed the latest driver from here:

Thank you so much! It is working now.
