DVD R/W Benq drive does not read Sony DVD-R after installing Vista
Hi
I was running XP and my DVD R/W Benq drive used to read discs properly. Now after installing Vista, I find that on inserting some data DVD-Rs (Sony, 16X, burnt on my laptop running Vista Ultimate, using Nero 6.0 to burn), it thinks it is a blank DVD. At the same time, when I insert some Imation DVD-Rs which I had burnt using WinXP earlier, it is able to read them. What is going wrong wrong here? |

I don't think Nero 6 is compatible with Vista. This may be causing a problem.

Check on the BenQ website for an update to the drive. It will NOT be a
driver update but rather a FIRMWARE update... Apparently Vista has some different responses to media insertion than XP had and this MAY solve the problem. If they don't have a firmware update you may need to replace the drive (what I had to do) On Sun, 19 Aug 2007 04:12:03 -0700, Suti wrote: Hi I was running XP and my DVD R/W Benq drive used to read discs properly.
