Problem for Sony VAIO FRV28 PC Notebook

CD-DVD R-W not burning DVDs




By Joey2 - usenet poster

" "
I have a Sony PCG-FRV28 with a CD-ROM/DVD RW that has a mind of it own...
The problem started after my Laptop got infected with a spy software. The CD
driver only played audio CDs. I did a disc recover and I was able to play
DVDs CD ROM and audio CDs, but could not burn anything in any format. I
desided to check for any up-grades from Sony and downloaded an up-grade
driver. After the up-grade, I was able to burn audio CDs, data CDs, and
watch DVDs, but I cannot not DVDs as I was able to do when I bought this
laptop. By the way, the drive I have is a Matshita UJ-810.

I appreciate any help you can give me.

Same Problem

-   Matshita Dvd-ram uj-850s for my Toshiba Satellite A205 will not show either dvds or cds in windows explorer. The really confusing part is that it will play a dvd with toshiba dvd player... For CDs however, I cannot find a fix for the problem. I have tried all of the recommended registry fixes and it hasn't changed anything which would seem to indicate that it is not a software problem. On the other hand, the fact that it will play dvds leads me to believe that it is not a hardware problem... HELP. -   anjobanjster

-   Dear expert,
Please, kindly help me to fix
the problem as the CD/DVD drive is not able to read the CD/DVD on Sony laptop(Model: PCG-FRV28) and drive model: Matsushita uj-810,
it always shows as blank CD and DVD though those CD and DVDs are good in condition and has content (files)
Since, it was working very good before updating to firmware (C104) and other updates from esupport.sony.com
It seems, the problem after installing the firmware from esupport.sony.com.
And, folowed as mentioning on
http://www.kb.sony.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=C425906&sliceId=2&docTypeID=DT_KNOWLEDGEARTICLES_1_1&dialogID=18028219&stateId=0%200%2036023852
but, there was no luck,
eventhough removing the upper and lower filters from the registry
and performed system restore to factory installed state from hard drive version, too.
System details?
>>
Sony laptop model: PCG-FRV28
CD/Drive: Matsushita uj-810
The driver details (files):
~ cdrom.sys
~ imapi.sys
~ PxHelp20.sys
~ redbook.sys
~ storprop.dll
Are you able to see any yellow exclamation or question mark next to the CD/DVD Drive in the Device Manager window?
>> NO
Is the CD/DVD Drive icon missing from the My Computer window?
>> NO
Are you getting any error messages?
>> Yes, it popups "I/O errors" and if I uncheck "Enable CD recording" by right click the drive in My Computer, Properties, Recording tab.
>> No, if, I check (enable) "Enable CD recording", then, there won't be any errors. But, it always, shows the CD or DVD as blank, though those have the files and in good condition.
Thanks alot in advance for your kind help or any information.-   msreddy

Service companies sometimes are of help.
The best thing is to move your drive to another PC and try.

Also sometimes viruses make XP re-installation absolutely necessary, you
know. :-(
