PCG-FR215S CD writing problem and DVD reading problem

[peter77]

My laptop (pcg-fr215s) takes a long time to read DVD's and sometimes won't read them.
The orange light on the CD tray will flash then will stay on if it can't read the DVD.
It can't write to CD-RW's at all.
CD-Rs that it writes to take a ling time to read on cd/dvd players and the laptop itself.
It has no problem reading CD-Rs I had previously writen on the laptop and other CD-Roms.

I have used the 'Toshiba SD-R6012 (1S34)' update from the download section.

I have recently updated to XP SP2 and my Hard drivers were optimized yesterday.

So, the reader cannot read DVDs but can read CDs? Correct?
I would have this checked out by Sony.

Their E-support is fast as useual!
I'm going to talk to them about the problem on the phone support line but I'm not sending the laptop in until after christmas!

Hello peter77,

I've just logged in as a new user and I've just written almost the same problem down on the users list.

I've got a pioneer dvd -combo but it almost seems that it doesn't matter which type of burner you use. So what could probably cause these problems and is there any solution at all??

That's more to do with the grade of the media.

i think the problem is xp sp2 download as a few other people have the same problem with their dvd rw drives i wonder if sony are aware of this
