| Somebody can help me? I bought in November of 2006 a Samsung SH-S182D that was working perfectly until I to format my PC in the last week. I've formatted and installed the windows XP and I made all the updates... When tryed to access one old DATA DVD that I use the same drive to record I got nothing. The system says that the DVD is blank! The first thing I did was to update the firmware to the newest SB05!! Still not working. I installed then the software that used to record my things: Roxio Easy Media Creator....and nothing... continues giving the blank media! I installed the Nero that came with the drive... Nothing... continues giving blank media. I decided then to make another test... I've installed the the drive in another machine....there it go...worked just fine....it read my media with all my data inside! I saw then that the problem is not with the drive and so with some configuration in my machine! Somebody can say what could be causing this problem? |

| I forgot to say that I tryed to read the disc with ISO Buster and it also says BLANK DISC!!!! Pentium IV 3.4 2Gb DDR MB Intel D865 PERL Windows XP Pro...updated |
| Sounds like the same problem I had....Samsung and their firmware are a real pain in the bum  check my thread here or redo the firmware updates |
| Wow....thak you robsolob....I did check your thread....but it was the other tip you gave me that solved my problem!!! I "re did" the firmware update using the same version SB05....it works!!! Now the drive reads my data DVD's (at least most of them) althoug it seems to be a litle slower than it was before I format the pc... oh well.... let's hope the next samsung firmware solve these problems!! thank you again! |
