Problem with QSI DVDRW SDW-041

I will try again. But i think that would be the wrong topic here

Thanks

Hey mathf, the problem was the firmware. My Burner said DU07. Today i booted a BartPE System and (up)graded the firmware to DU07. Now it works. It seems that there was problem with the firmware on the burner...

Nice to hear that you finally solve this problem!

Hey mate, i'm having similar problem with my drive! and i was wondering if you would sent my the DU07 file!

Select DVD-Burner, the 2nd one is the right

I have the same problem with windows and hopefuly a firmware update will help
I went to this website and i only found the DU05 not the 07.. I already have the 05 and its not working..
Do you know where to get the 07?

Please try this link:

Thanks downloading now! Hope it works.. heh

just installed the new firmware (07) but i am still having the same problem.. It can read cd but it cant write a cd and it cant read/write a dvd.. any suggestions?

then it really could be damaged. I could write cd's but no dvd's before i upgraded the firmware. Are you sure the DU07 is installed ?

yea i am pretty sure the du07 is installed.
I can read cds no problem.. I'l try writing one again at a lower speed because it failed at 100% and might not be the cd writer..
but i am still having the problem with the dvd.. cant read-write

I just succesfully burned a cd.. so the problem now is just with the dvd.. reading/writing dvds.
any suggestions now?

did you try other medias ? i successfully burnt with verbatim, philips and bluedisc

i dont write dvds so often because i have an external hard drive for back up so i am not so worried bout the dvd write.. but i it cant read dvd either. not even originals that is my main problem..actually it will read the dvd but it will show that is empty when i try to browse or play a dvd

this sounds like a damaged device. I did not have such problems. Perhaps you should send the device in.

marduck i have same problem with my amilov2000 i update my firmware to du07 but i couldnt write dvds nero said that the write was succesful but there is nothing on dvd plz help me

Hi,

My problem with this DVD burner is that I can't burn DVD but CD yes. Everything is going ok when I'm burning but when DVD is finished there is nothing on it! Empty DVD. I'm going crazy becouse everything was ok before I installed new version of Nero. I tried with 4-5 diffrent media and 2-3 software!! Can anybody send me something, any information that could help me??

Have you updated your Firmware? Were you able to burn in Windows?

I have hp presario B1015 and I have updated my firmware but with same version like I alreday had. I couldn't find new one.

And which one is on the drive?

Here guys i found how to resolve the problem!!!

I found the following problems by myself or searching through the web :
- Error burning DVD+R at 4X
(there is 2 circles after burning on the DVD after waiting for an hour)
- Securom problems with DVD games
- Burn crash ...

My firmware version was DX32, you can see it in the BIOS screen at bootstart.
You have to execute this update on compaq/hp website (don't worry if your computer is not a compaq, mine is a gericom ), it will use the QSI winflash program to update to the DX43 version.

Here is the link : http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/s...tem=ob-24305-1

If someone have found a new version, please post.

See ya, hope i was able to help people as much in trouble as i were.
(I already threw 4 Verbatim DVD...)

P.S : I read too that you have to burn with 2.4X, it works with me!!! I have to try at 4X a last time (goodbye DVD n°5...) but since the update, 4X is not accessible by default through my burning software...

Well my Burner now recognizes itself as NU DVDRW SDW-042 and burns DVD+R and DVD-R both with 2,4X
Does your Firmware burn DVD-R ?

Nop QSI DVDRW SDW-041 is a DVD+ Writer

maybe, but with the firmware my QSI SDW-041 burns DVD-R

Hi

I also have a problem with QSI DVDRW SDW-041, a very strange one. I recently re installed Windows XP Pro. The burner did not burn CDs. I upgraded the firmware to du07, and now I can burn DVDs at any time, but I can only burn 1 CD. If I try to burn a second one it fails. If I flash the drive with du07 again, I can burn the first CD, not the second, so to burn the second I have to flash the drive again. I don't understand how that can be, and I can't go on that way.

Strange stuff
