Help Please IBM T43 DVD Burner

Hello, I am pulling my hair out and really need some help. I have posted on some other forums and happened upon this Lenovo/IBM forum and hope some here might have the same problem.

I back up my information on Mat****a UJDA765 DVD/CDRW using Fugifilm DVD 8x with no problem. I picked up some new DVD's a the store months ago on sale that are Memorex and these after opening them and them not working, I realized are 16x.

I called Memorex and they told me I have to update the laptops hardware to use 16x because the computer is not recognizing the 16x. I have tired three different wants to burn these new Memorex 16x dvd and the computer will not find them.

I can't figure out how to make them accept the memorex 16x or if that is even possible.

Anyway, what I do not get is I right clicked the CD/DVD drive and properties the record. Under fastest it list everything for 1x to 146x which includes the 16x.

Sorry I am so ranting however I am pulling my hair out trying to figure this out. I really hate tossing these 100 DVD spinal I bought but my computer will not read them.

Any input would be great appreatcated

The UJDA765 is a DVD/CDRW drive and won't burn DVDs.

 

It has burn Fujifilm 8x DVD+R before. I have several I have done with it so I don't how that can be.

In the properties is also listed drive is Disk drivers HTS 54106069AT00 could that be what needs updated?

But thank you
Kimberly

 

Are you sure it's the same models as the ones you used?

A quick search on Google only spits out DVD-ROM/CD-RW results.

You are right, I dug my old dell laptop of of the closet, dusted it off and have the same software I have on the IMB and forgot about it was the old dell I used. I found the DVD right way.

I feel terrible stupid but thank you so much. I have been trying to figure this out for days!! Thank you so much
