I have one sata Liteon DH-16A3L lightscribe DVD writer just purchased. The CD/DVD disks are not finalised and the disks are turned into costers. I have tried various brands of CD/DVD even the costlier one but nothing has improved. Contcated the vendor, but he can't help nor will change the DVD writer brand.

I have been told that if bios is upgraded then only the disk will be finalised. Friends.... PLEASE HELP ME OUT............

Hi,try a different burning app as well as burn at lower speeds.
Finally try a firmware upgrade : *www.techspot.com/drivers/driver/file/information/9989/

If its defective HE HAS TO REPLACE IT. Call him, and tell him you are fed up and are going to consumer court, wish him goodbye and keep the receiver down. In all probability he'll come running behind you, if he doesn't, then you have two choices:
1. Go to the consumer court (best option)
2. Go to another vendor and buy another drive
