My Sony DVD RW does not read all DVDs? Need Help.  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 82/100. biman_s (638)   ranked 1,460 out of 8,747 in computers 3 years ago

I have a "Sony DVD RW AW G-170A" it reads only select DVDs. What I mean to say is that when I first bought it, it was able to read all type of DVDs but now when I insert any multisession discs it fails to read. But when I use ISO Buster after a couple of tries it reads it clearly. I dont understand what is wrong with it. I need serious help on this.

Please help it anybody has any solution.

try reinstalling or upgrading your dvd drive driver and see if that works...

I tried to install a new firmware for the drive but it failed to installed. Can you tell me any site where I can find its latest drivers.

Hey bro, same problem here also. I've too got same DVD writer but now its 2 years old. It only reads CD/DVD which doesn't have much scratches or the new one.It fails to read older CD/DVD's.
I think the main problem is with it lens.Due to regular use its lens get weak or dust might have covered its surface.
Try to clean the lens with a Lens Cleaner CD or open the DVD-Writer box and try to clean the lens manually with an ear-bud.
If you are not technical person or you find it difficult do not open it and take to any service centre and get it repaired.
Hope this might help you.....

ISO buster is really a very good CD recovery tool it's more tolerant to errors and will not give up easily compared to your DVD RW drive. Maybe cleaning it as suggested will just do it.

You are right ISO Buster is great software.

Hey,

I don't really know how to help other than trying to re-install the driver. Hopefully someone else will be able to answer your question better than I have done, in a really good way so you can actually benefit from it. Make sure you have a good day, Happy Lotting!!
