Hi, I am trying to burn a PC game onto a DVD-R disc using Alcohol 120 (that's what people said I should use). But when I put the disc in, Both Windows and Alcohol don't seem to be able to read it (it says "no disc" is in).

At first I thought maybe the disc reader wasn't working, but I put in a music CD and it read it.
Any thoughts, please?

I did do a search and I discovered that memorax isn't a good DVDR to use, but I don't think it's the DVD, I think it's the DVD reader.

It reads CDs but not my DVD-R. I'm thinking it might be because my firmware is out of date (if that even makes sense)?
But I couldn't find any upgrades for KDK3 firmware (which is what I currently have).

I will try this, thanks.

And Rotary, I have KDK3 firmware but I can't find any upgrades anywhere for it.

This is a reply to Creaky from my other thread (which you closed).

1st off: Sorry for making 2 somewhat related threads, I just read the rules and I understand.

2ndly: You asked if I had a SONY CDRW/DVD CRX830E drive. My answer is...how do I check what drive I have??

Sorry for being so difficult, I really am new to all this stuff, but I want to learn. thanks.

No problem. i just did a google for 'KDK3 firmware' and SONY CRX830E was the first thing that came up. Imgburn should tell you..

Yep. That's what I have.
I tried a verbatim & memorex DVD-R, an Imation DVD+R, & a Sony DVD+RW and none of them were acknowledged by Windows or Alcohol (it said "no disc").

However, both Windows and Alcohol acknowledged a blank Memorex CD-R and a verbatim DVD-RW with a movie on it.

Why would this be?
And how can I erase the movie so I can re-record a game onto the DVD-RW?
