Site with CD/DVD firmware

[MacGyver]

The page is poorly constructed but it has more CD/DVD drive firmware than you can shake a stick at

Hey long time no see dude - how's it hanging & all of that ? I trust all is well with you ?

This though maybe wants to live in Tech Tips ? Then again maybe it wants to stay here ? .. Maybe it should be in both, but we don't like duplicate posts .. as you can see, nothings changed with me too much !

Good site, as an addition I also use this one:

think this could do with being stuck*...Please add links to firmware - if you know the firmware has NOT been issued by the manufacturer, please provide a warning.

*Edit-ed by confus-ed : Lol I always wanted to do this , so I shall - err I've hopefully unstuck this now & made another pre closed sticky for 'all things' cd\dvd

Hello.
I am new to this site & I have to say it's very helpful.
I am in the U.K. and yesterday, I took delivery of an NEC ND6500A Dual Layer DVD Writer, for my Laptop.
I installed the writer no problem, but there was no software (no drivers, instructions or anything) delivered with the product. Just the Drive itself.
Anyway, it works fine when reading the Original Source DVD. And it works with 4x sindle Layer DVD+R
But, when I load a Dual Layer (Verbatim) 2.4x 8.5GB DVD+R into the drive, it does not recognise the media. In Win explorer, it doesn't even indicate that there is disc in the drive.
I am running XP Professional. And I am thinking that it is because i need to install some sort of software (NEC Drivers, or Firmware) for the drive.
But I don't know. I am not very 'computer savvy' and don't really know what to do next. I have searched for ND6500A drivers on the net, with no success.
I am stuck & I need some help!!
Please, can anyone out there help me??? It will be very very much appreciated.

Hi Jey D,

Your question is answered in your other thread here:
http://forums.windrivers.com/showthr...077#post583077

BTW, no firmware updates for this ND6500A are available per NEC's website.

We understand that you're new but please don't post the same question more than once. It can get confusing at times.

Anyway, Good Luck!
