I have a Sony DW-G120A DVD writer. These days, it simply refuses to read some DVDs. When I insert certain DVDs, it does not detect anything. This includes
the CHIP DVDs of the March and April issues (really frustrating, as I can't even
To get rid of dust, use lens cleaning kits on a~ regular basis. watch the CeBIT videos supplied on the disc!) and the Mega Software DVD and a disc I burned (this disc reads as an empty disc). These run fine on a friend's computer (he has the same DVD writer). Other DVDs read fine on my drive. I installed the latest firmware (version MYS6) but it didn't solve the problem.
I also uninstalled the drive from Device Manager and restarted the PC but the problem still persists. I have Windows XP Professional SP2 installed on my machine and a Samsung CD writer connected as slave to this Sony DVD writer. Another strange thing is that the drive was able to read the Mega Software DVD once. My drive is one and a half years old. Please help!
