Hi,

I just upgraded the firmware on my external Sony DRX - 810UL and now no matter what program I use it will get to either 3.2% or 3.4% completed during the writing process then stop doing anything... The first time this happened to me I let it sit for 5 hours and it didn't move at all. Of course I forgot to set a roll back point for the driver before updating firmware so now I feel that I'm stuck with what I've done. I was attempting to copy a DL DVD, I haven't attempted a regular dvd yet. Media I'm using is Verbatim DVD+R DL at 2.4X write speed. No error messages occur, it just stops doing anything what so ever. Anyone have any suggestions for me? Sorry if this has come up in another thread, I looked through quite a few pages and didn't see anything.

My computer is roughly 6-7 years old and I've burned many dvd's (DL and regular) with it before. I'm using verbatim media, but it does the same with memorex, so I don't think that has anything to do with it... I haven't had need to try a regular dvd yet, dont want to waste more than I have to. It started when I was trying to use Nero and it kept hanging up so I updated the firmware and now it stops writting at 3.2% and I can't for the life of me figure it out...

you have nero installed which you only started to use. there might be a conflict if you have not uninstalled other burning software which you used previously.

Ive had many different programs on here with nero installed since I bought my external burner... never had a problem until now? So if I got rid of nero it will solve this problem?

here is a checklist to do. from my own experience.
1. Unistall the all your dvd burning software and then install nero.

2. Then check your DMA settings. They may have slipped into PIO mode. Check this guide out on how to change DMA settings;

3. set your burn rate speed to 8x

Have you checked my thread out?
