    My HP DVD Writer dvd200e will do a great job on DVD+RW disks,but not on DVD+R disks.

    I do all the usual things like defrag & make sure the writer lens and media is clean,BUT still I get the "Error on Position" write errors.


    Any ideas would be appreciated.

    I believe the RW and the R lasers are different, if is possible that the drive may be partially inoperable. I had a CD-R/RW drive that broke and the RW stopped working but the R worked fine.

    If its still under warranty have it replaced
    otherwise look for my guide how to flash it to Ricoh 1.64 firmware
    see if it helps

    No they are the same laser. It takes more power to write DVD+R. Hard to say what is wrong but I agree with Tompika that retun it if it is still under warranty.

    Ok,so you are saying that the Ricoh Firmware is used on the HP? Are you sure it's compatible?


    Thanks
