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?
 
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)
