Driverfor Sony DVD+/-RW |DW-Q30A - Sony Computers & Internet

DVD codecs are missing. You can download a codec pack for free and install. This should solve your prob. Older DVD rom drives did not come with onboard codecs. When you format and reinstall the registered codec can get cleaned away. Like baby out with the bathwater...............

See if this helps. I don't know your OS ver but this should help.

Sounds like you are right. DVD burners are not too expensive these days. You might save yourself a lot of headache if you just replace it.

the dvd writer needs to be replaced,the laser is faulty or miisaligned, the cost of a repair is no longer viable because a new one would cost about $60 (£32.00)

1. go to device manager / right click on cd drive / uninstall driver / reboot and windows will reinstall driver 2. go to My computer right click on cd drive properties - check digital cd playback recording - check enable cd recording on this drive driver - update or uninstall reboot your computer
