Maxell RW

[Nomi]

Hi

I have Maxell CD-RW (700 MB, 4x-10x)

and CD-R/RW 2x(300 KB/s)

when i insert CD-RW in the drive, it shows 700 MB free space

but i coulnd write the data on it, it says "Recorder does not support this type of disk"

is there any compatibility issue or i have damaged CD-RW ?

any idea?

What's the model of the CD writer?

LG CD-RW CED 8080B

do you have the latest firmware for your cd recorder?

maybe it can solve this situation

There actually are firmware updates for this drive that resolve CD-RW problems. Sad thing is, it will most likely be easier to find firmware for the drive from other sources than LG... Mind you it's only a 8x drive, and you can buy DL DVD burners for 60$ now...

If its an OEM one (out of a branded system, I have owned a similar one some months ago), its easy to chack it. If its OEM, it has a black front panel. You can get its firmware from here.

I also have it, sized 337k, so I can't post it here . This firmware (v1.08) solved my buffer underrun problems.

Also not all old burners support 700MB capacity.
