I have a Sony DVD RW DW-D26A, it was working fine until now, it won't read but it will write. On the bottom of DVD Decrypter is says Device not ready (medium not present), and there's a movie in the drive. I upgraded the firmware and nothing, don't know if its cause I have it on Cable select. I have 2 burners the other one works fine same settings, I checked the IDE cable, switched them around and it still won't work, funny how it did and now it won't, why would that happen, I don't abuse it, hardly ever burn anything so it can't be that. Any Ideas would help alot.
dont switch cables, try uninstalling your drivers, then reinstalling, although this should have been done during the firmware update
have you tried burning with another burning software?
decrypter maybe interfering with firmware/drivers
I did all that, after the drivers I thought about the cables, after that I remember the firmware and still won't work. I have 2 burners the other one works fine with either IDE cable, but my sony one works once in a while, but only burns it can't seem to detect movies, only blank cds, if you put a movie in it'll say the drive is empty, odd. I tried using DVDfad HD Decryptor 4, I hear it would help get rid of those error=400 messages that I get with my sony burner but still won't seem to work, I only had it a year it cost me $200 can't die yet..nooooooo!!!!
