All the read and write features of the drive are there along with Labelflash and Lightscribe support, CD Text, Layer jump recording and a few other items including an option to visit FirmwareHQ to find the latest firmware for the drive.

Thanks , It is helped me to confirm the capabilities of drive with imgburn, already loaded but I do not know where to look…….. You also assume the manual or website will actually tell you, and many might not.
I often get the same error. Now I can solve this problem. But never asked why and spent money on this. Its very costly.
Thanks to you, this I can overcome. Derek 11 months ago. The Drive contains some lenses that project electromagnetic waves that are responsible for reading and writing data on optical discs. Nowadays Optical drives are become less common due to the revolution of better data management systems and storage devices.
DVDs have a storage capacity of 4. DVD optical drives write data to CDs by heating the organic dye layer parts of the discs; they use a laser that changes the reflectivity of the dye.
With your Optical drive and data writing software, you can choose to record data on disc for permanent or temporary use.
DVDs and CDs contain crystalline alloy that can be melted by the optical drive laser to make the disc rewritable in multiple times. Assuming the drive is installed and configured properly initially, it should be problem-free throughout its service life. There is little relationship between the brand name of a disc and the company that made it.
Some companies manufacture discs that are rebranded by several other companies, and may or may not also be sold under the manufacturer's brand name. Some companies put their own brands on discs from different manufacturers. Some companies do both. It's quite possible to buy two apparently identical spindles of discs, sometimes with the same SKU, and find that one was made in Japan and the other in Taiwan, by different companies.
It's also common for spindles of different capacity 25, 50, or all with the same brand name, to contain discs made by different companies. Even these utilities aren't foolproof, because some high-quality disc manufacturers have sold master stamping dies to other companies, whose discs are identified as coming from the company that produced the stamping die rather than the company that actually produced the discs.
Optical drives sometimes refuse to eject a disc, using either software eject or the eject button on the drive itself. If that happens, power down the system completely, allow it to remain off for a minute or so, and then power it back up. If that doesn't solve the problem, the drive itself is probably defective.
If the disc being held hostage is valuable, look for a small emergency eject hole in the front panel of the drive. Insert a paper clip into the hole and press firmly to release the drive tray. If the drive has no emergency eject hole, the best option is to disassemble the drive carefully to retrieve the disc. If this happens, it is often because the disc itself is dirty or scratched, so clean the disc or try a different disc before assuming the drive is at fault.
We usually clean discs by spraying them lightly with window cleaning solution and gently drying them with a soft cloth. Wipe straight across the disc rather than in circles. That method is frowned upon by some, but we've never damaged a disc by cleaning it that way.
If you want to use an approved method, buy one of the commercial CD or DVD disc cleaners, which are readily available from big-box stores and other retailers.
Tray-loading optical drives require little cleaning. They are well sealed against dust, and all recent drives incorporate a self-cleaning lens mechanism. For routine cleaning, wipe the external parts of the drive occasionally with a damp cloth. Some drive makers recommend using a drive cleaning kit every month or two, although we usually do so only when we begin getting read errors. To use these kits, which are available in wet and dry forms, insert the cleaning disc and access the drive to spin the cleaning disc for a few seconds.
For a particularly dirty drive, you may need to repeat the cleaning process several times. Slot-loading optical drives can be cleaned more thoroughly by vacuuming the interior gently, using a pencil or similar object to hold the slot open, or by using compressed air to blow out the dust and then drenching the interior of the drive with zero-residue cleaner. Most optical drive manufacturers discourage taking more extreme measures, so if you go beyond these routine cleaning steps, you are on your own and may void your warranty.
For any optical drive, but particularly for optical writers, it's important to keep the firmware updated. Firmware updates fix bugs, add features, and add support for new brands and types of optical discs. We generally update the firmware in our optical drives every time we buy a new spindle of discs. If you're running Windows, visit the manufacturer's web site periodically, and download the latest firmware version for your drive. Most optical drive makers supply firmware updates as executables that can be run directly from Windows or from a command prompt.
Verify that there is no disc in the drive, and then just run the executable to update your drive firmware. If you are running Linux, updating your drive firmware may be problematic. All drive makers supply firmware updaters for Windows.
