iv had my Area-51m 5500 for several months, and iv never had to burn anything until now, but for the last week iv had to burn a dvd for my school project, nothing, i was trying to burn from adobe premier 1.0 and it keeps getting stuck at the same place

i know its not the discs, because iv tried 3 DVD-R, 3 DVD+R, and 2 DVD-RW

my burner is a sony slimtype DVDRW SOSW-852S

There was a firmware update released by AW mid last year for the DVD drive, did you apply it?

This is the internal DVD right? When I go to the support site and look at drivers for the 766, the very first file I see is "DVD Firmware DU31."

Crap. Another quick question, have you tried to burn anything else? Did it work?

That is a lite on drive. You can try both links for the latest firmware.

i have an A51-m purchased last year and am having similar troubles. I have a dvd r/rw, but cant burn cd's at all. Not sure about DvD's. Im using nero that came wiht the computer. Burn process fails shortly after starting everytime. Seemed to happen around or after installing sp2. Can i use the same firmware updates??? Thanks for your help.
