when I try burn an DVD my drive stop working.
it read fine but when I try burn an DVD it give me an error.
my drive is: mata dvd-ram uj-852s
some one know where I can solve this situation or download a new firmware to try solve this?

my actual date firmware drive is 26/06/2006.
The WEI score of this Sony model, when using the dedicated nVidia 8400GS is one point lower than when using Intel X3100 in Stamina mode.
Strange to say the least, but it proves that with the latest GPU driver, Intel has improved the performance on this graphic chip.
I have just upgraded to Win 7 and cant get Aero to work obviously my drivers are need updating but i cant get Nvidea or Integrated Intel Media Accelerator X3100 to work. Am i best using the X3100?
View 11 Replies View RelatedI needed to downgrade one of my SZ's to XP, and all went fine until the network driver install - but the automated driver install for the rest of the components seems not to have 'taken'. I followed the instructions to the letter and every time I boot Windows it asks me for the drivers fo the video, fingerprint reader, sound, etc etc.
What did I do wrong, and how do I get around it? It was for a piece of software which is XP only that I'm required to run, but if I can't solve this easily I'm just going to say to the guy I only run Vista and let him worry about it.
I read many high quality posts about Windows 7 and VAIO Laptops so I wanted to share my experiences with Windows 7 x64 (64 bit) on a VGN-SZ71 WN/C.
The result is the device center you see here (German Version):
Everything is working, except these Points:a) Brightniss and Monitor Switch FN Keys are not working.
b) S1 and S2 are not working. Stamina / Speed switch works, but there will be no popup that you need to reboot. So you have to remember this yourself ;-)
c) Camera is not working. VGN-SZ (and TZ) have VGP-VCC7 camera models. I used Ricoh_6.210C Driver & VAIO Camera Capture Utility 2.7.
d) VAIO Smart Network not working. I used VAIO_Smart_Network_2.3. The GUI is not working correctly.
See Screenshot:
The procedure, drivers and tools I used:Install everything in the correct order! Do reboot if you are asked to do so! Run all setups in Vista Service Pack 1 Mode and with administrator rights..........
I own the VPCCW27FX from Best Buy. Last night, after burning a DVD, I experienced the blue screen of death. I noticed that my DVD writer only burns at 2.4x speed. I called Sony Customer Support and they could not provide me the with the optical speed of my drive and could not help me increase my burning speed. To the other people who own this computer or a similar model, what is your drive speed? Is there something wrong with my computer? It takes me 23 minutes to burn a DVD, a lot slower than my old Toshiba laptop.

Will a panasonic UJ-220 out of a Sony vaio FZ31S fit in the Z
I finally got my VPC Z with HDD/no DVD today and I thought I'd start up a thread on the subject for those like me who once receiving their Z will be trying to use Vaio Recovery Center to create recovery disks without using a DVD Writer.
Installing Win 7 from a USB stick is fairly well documented on the web but the problem above isn't, certainly not for the VPC Z anyway. I know that it's probably gonna be simpler to just create a bootable USB key/stick and copy the relevant drivers to it and use that (something I'll be doing to get rid of all the crapware sony have preinstalled) but I like having the security of an additional backup solution just in case I royally balls it up.
The main issue (i think) is with Vaio Recovery Center itself, if you try to create the recovery disk the software will complain that no dvd writer can be found. After trying a couple of virtual CD/DVD/BD-ROM/HD-DVD tools I took the advice of TofuTurkey (cheers fella) in the vaio owners thread and tried Virtual CD. I'm happy to report that this has the capability to create a fake drive with various fake media discs and does indeed fool the Vaio software into creating an ISO to the internal hard drive. I setup a DVD+R DL drive and everything went smothly. Vaio Rocovery created a single ISO 5,344,117KB in size.
Seems the next trick is to find a way of creating a bootable USB stick (again there's plenty of info out there concerned with installing Win 7) and then writing the ISO (or contents of?) it to it and filing it away for safe keeping. ZoinksS2k mentioned I should be "sure to set the partition to Active and run bootsect to make it bootable." which is going to be my next step after I've read up a little again on this.
Is there any way to configure the SXPS16 to have a BR writer? The most I see on Dell's website is just a BR reader.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI have a Dell XPS 1330 that happily runs Windows XP.
It has the Mata DVD+-Rw UJ-857G writer.
It can read DVDs alright, but I never ever managed to write any CD or DVD with it .....
While reviewing my processed order I saw these two choices for the dvd drive..
the 8X slot load super Multi (DL DVD+/-R Drive + RAM Support) and
the CD/DVD writer (DVD+/-RW) + Roxio Creator 10
what is the difference between the two? I was able to select the default which was the 8x slot load super multi. I want to both read AND write CD AND DVD and is it also possible to re-write to a DVD RW with the default 8x slot load super multi drive?
I just got confused with the +/-RW, when you mouse-over the 8x slot load super multi it says that it is a DVD +/-RW but in the tick-box selection it is only DVD+/-R
I would like to upgrade my 5315-2153 laptop to a dvd writer. Which models could I use and will Xp recognize the writer installed and work properly?
Which Intel Core Duos types could I install instead of the Celeron CPU that this laptop has. Would the Core Duo CPU be pin compatable and all I would have to do is use new artic cpu thermal compound to make sure it is mounted properly and greased properly.
I am using acer aspire 4520 for past one year.
But, for the last 2/3 months, I was facing a problem that dvd writer was sometimes detected in BIOS & sometimes not.
And finally, from the last week, the BIOS is not at all detecting the "MATSUSHITA DVD WRITER"
Its quite strange, as the orange led on dvd writer blinks like before & it write pops out when I press eject button too.
Have you guys also faced similar problem with this matsushita dvd writer?
Maybe some BIOS update is needed.
i bought a dv7 turion based laptop today.. and the dvdwriter/ is always constnatly making a loading noise.. does anyone experience this with any model? it's really annnoying cause it makes the pc lag for that time it's doing it's thing.. like i could be just on the desktop, and all a sudden the dvd writer light turns green and tryings loading absolutely nothing like it's doin the seeking noise ( and no there is no dvd or cd in the dvd writer just empty )

Anyone else experiencing something similar? No one else has brought it up for this new Z so I was wondering if I'm just a minority (granted the laptop is new and not many people have it yet)
I am in Shanghai and went to demo a new Vaio Z at a local SonyStyle store with a 3.06GHz CPU and Dual SSDs raided. The unit had Vista 64bit and 8GB of RAM... surprisingly though, no BluRay just a DVD Burner... go figure...
I tried to have someone explain to me if the design of the Z was changed because on my Z (model VGG-Z27GN) internally there is only space for one 2.5" drive (and nothing else really).
If the new Z's can accommodate 2 HDs inside, some major internal redesign had to be made. Does anyone know if this is the case or if maybe Sony is using some sort of two 1.8" Drives instead that they RAID together
