Originally posted by germcevoySince a recent crash my DVD drive won't recognise DVD's (blank media or movies). I think I need a firmware upgrade for it.
The model of the drive is a 'Slimtype DVDRW - SOSW - 852S'. I've searched the internet but can't find anything clear and concise. Any help appreciated

You could also start up the pc in safe mode and see if it works from there. If it works in safe mode then some other piece of software is causing a conflict.
