    Nec Problem reading

    I am using NEC Optiarc DVD RW AD-7173A and the label of the DVDs is taiyo yuden.I burned some dvds with it and whenever I try to read them the following message is displayed:windows cannot read from this disc.The disc might be corrupted,or it could be using a format that is not compatible with windows

    Although,when I read them with a samsung dvd rom everything goes alright.I have also done a firmware upgrade to my nec dvd rw

    So what are you using to burn the dvds? Is the media + or - r? What is the model of the samsung? Have you tried a different make or type of dvd media?

    I burn the dvds with the nec and the dvds are -r.The Samsung's model is TS-H352A.
    I haven't tried a different type but everyone says that this media is very good.Are you talking about compatibility?

    Yes, my optiarc has problems with all kinds of media... the latest one it doesn't like is philips... also a good make.

    I also tried Smartbuy label and the same thing happens..
    Do you think I should keep trying different types such as Verbatim and TDK?

    What speed is the media rated at?
    Is this in a Dell computer or is it a retail version of the optiarc?
    Where did you get the firmware? here?
