Any one plz help ... especially those using SONY DW-G120A DVD WRITER .
this is the third time i'm replacing this DVD writer in 7 days .
every piece that i bought couldnt write either on a cd or dvd .
nero and even windows default burner gave "communication error" .
i don't think that there is any prob with the dvd writer since all three couldnt be bad .
any suggestions as to what the problem might be ????

 

[cyrux]

Did you check the IDE cable...might be some error with that ...

 

[Vishal Gupta]

Is ur DVD writer is visible in My Computer and also r u able to read cd/dvd in ur DVD Writer?

 

[Dink2cool]

i dunno how to check IDE cable ..can u tell me what to check in that and how

yeh my dvd writer visible in My Computer and it is able to read cds/dvds .. but still it isnt able to write

could it be problem due to hardware incompatibility

 

[cyrux]

Remove the ide connector from the motherboard and try using another one...

Hardware incompatibility with 3 different drives...doesnt seem like...neways whats ur system config

Why dont u try using the drive at some other place to check if it gives the same prob.

 

[Dink2cool]

My system config is
1) AMD Athlon XP 2200+
2) ASUS KM 266 Motherboard
3) 256 MD 266Mhz DDR SD RAM
4) SONY dw-g120a DVD WRITER (u know that )
5)48x LG CD ROM DRIVE (which is presently disconnected )

Well i'll try and see if my IDE cables are properly connected and then as u said i'll go t my friens house to ee if it works . but i'm not able to understand that once i had connected a cd writr to my pc and it gave no trouble .still my dvd writer is giving probs

and by the way all 3 drives were of sony and two of them were dw-g120a

 

[cyrux]

So all 3 drives were from sony....
What i mean is, please do try with a different IDE cable because the one you may be using might be faulty. Also do check at ur friends home

Re: Which DVD Writer is best?

Hi,

I want to buy a DVD-writer soon. I have shortlisted some models based on reviews on the net. Can you tell me which one I should buy? I am not interested in lightscribe (media available rarely & expensive). The models are:

Benq DW 1650
Benq DW 1640
Sony DWG 120A
Sony DRU-820A
Sony DRU 810A

Can you also tell me the price of the above and Benq's availability here in Kolkata?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
