Hello,
I have a LG External USB 2.0/IEEE1394
16x Super Multi DVD/CD Rewriter
GSA-5163D
Which I bought a few years ago.
I got a new Dell laptop recently and it has it's own
built in DVD/CD writer. I bought some DL discs and
did a test backup yesterday on the laptop -- works fine.
However when I take the LG over to another PC, it can't
read the DL disc (it's just a data disc with zip files).
The built-in DVD can't read it either.
I'm hoping it's a driver issue.
I did start Nero 6 on the other pc and used the LG multi
to start a backup. It recognized the DL blank disc and
I purposely "overfed" it 10+ gb of data and Nero reported
that I was over limit on space.
So, I'm hoping this is a driver issue
Thanks, Gadrin
BTW -- I did use Windows Hardware to try and upgrade the
drivers for the drive, but when I used the CD that came
with the LG multi it said "no better drivers found".
