I have P-4 2.66 PC with 512 MB RAM and PCI Express graphic card and I am aslo having SONY DVD writer.The problem is that I can't use SONY make blank DVD OR DVD -RW with it.Everytime the burn process fails.But if i use any other company's media like Samsung OR any unbranded DVD it works nice.now if I use the same DVD-RW with LG DVD writer at my friends place it works nice too.Its realy very strange that why cant i use the SONY media with SONY DVD writer? Plz. help..!

Same thing happened with my cousin's burner. He has a Liteon burner. It does not burn some media but works fine with others.

How to find the firmware upgrade that I might need? And how to apply the same?

The procedure is short and simple. ( at least in case of Sony) I have done it once with my DRU 810A.
In fact I did it out of curoisity only.

Very well even my friend's liteon cd writer fails to burn imation cd-r's but works well other brands. I am not still sure whether the firmware upgrade will solve the problem
