My computer recognise its there, but it wont read anything properly. I only bought a new one, cos I thought my other was buggered. :? Title: DVD/Rewriter Problem, help please.

My mate has a sony DVD rewriter and says it's a common problem with xp/sony drives. His plays up all the time :| Title: DVD/Rewriter Problem, help please. Post by: blinkpip on Tuesday, August 1, 2006, 20:50:50 Sony site is crap. It doesn't give any drivers updates. It doesn't seem to spin around fast enough I think.

I assumed somebody would have read the instructions to sort that out first though :D Title: DVD/Rewriter Problem, help please. Post by: sonic youth on Wednesday, August 2, 2006, 23:06:56 why so shocked?

Also the new drive didn't come with any instructions. Title: DVD/Rewriter Problem, help please.
