LITEON LDW-411S/451S and Media?

[kingkill33]

Just bought a LITEON LDW-411S/451S. When trying to burn a DVD it is not recognizing my DVD media. I forget whether it's Generic or BeAll media, but my Sony DRU500A has no problem with it so I don't see why the LITEON would (and I've burned almost 200 DVD's with this Media and my Sony Drive). I checked LITEON's site but couldn't find any driver or firmware updates. Im running XP Pro, using -R media and trying to burn with IMG Tool/Nero if it matters. Thanks for any help.

Is it a 411 or 451, different fw for each. FW located at liteonit.com, and stop by club.cdfreaks.com, in the liteon forum. There is a wealth of information available there.

Not sure now that you mention it. 411S/451S were the numbers on my invoice, I'll have to actually check the drive. With the FW update, will it be able to recognize my media?

I bought the Lite-on 411S a few weeks ago and had the same problem. I was able to use the DVD+RW that came with it but not the Fuji DVD+RW's I had bought. I brought the Fuji disks back and got Memorex DVD+RW's. Those didn't work. I updated the 411S firmware to the latest from the Lite-on website. That didn't work. I eventually exchanged the burner for a new one. It has the 02 firmware but to work fine now. Return the burner if you can. I am running XP on a Gateway computer.
Good luck
