I've been online with HP for 2 hours. We did the Toshiba SD-R6252 DVD+RW Drive Firmware Upgrade (SP28709.exe). The drive still does not recognize Philips DVD+R disks.

Does anyone know what disks are supported?

I saw a thread on this back in Nov 2004 but did not see any resolution. Thanks for your help. BTW, I have an HP Pavilion zd7180us running XP Media Center v2002, service pak 1

Thanks....Danielle

Thanks creaky. I read all three of the links you sent. I had already upgraded to the latest driver(1A14). I have Philips DVD+R 1-8x disks. Philips has been known to make pretty good disks unless that has changed recently. The system simply does not recognize them.

I do have much more expensive Fujifilm DVD+RW disks and they work but they are very hard to find (and expensive, like I said).

I don't know if I have h/w problems (HP not a lot of help) or just can't find good disks. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Philips are hit and miss as regard to what manufacturer you get when you buy Philips. for example -
Quote:
Philips DVD+R 2.4x (CMC MAG.R01)
Philips DVD+R 2.4x (RICOHJPN R00)
Philips DVD+R 2.4x (RITEK R01)
Philips DVD+R 4x (CMC MAG F01)
Philips DVD+R 4x (RICOHJPN R01)
Philips DVD+R 8x (CMC MAG E01)
Philips DVD+R 8x (Philips 081)
Philips DVD+R 8x (RICOHJPN R02)
Philips DVD+RW 2.4x (CMC MAG.W01)
Philips DVD+RW 2.4x (INFODISCA01)
Philips DVD+RW 4x (PHILIPS 041)
Philips DVD+RW 4x (RICOHJPNW11)
Philips DVD-R 8x (CMC MAG AE1)
- the names in brackets are media codes, ie CMC Mag are the world's worst media.

i personally recommend Verbatim datalifeplus - top notch media that are no more expensive than crap media
