I know this sounds strange, but what drive did info tool say you have? Try and flash it (update it) with this http://www.storageupdates.philips.com/files/dvdrw/Philips_DVDR1640P_Upgrade_to_P3.7.zip Get back to me.
Hi again well I done as you said downloaded the file and got the same message up saying the drive is not allowed to be updated
Right this is what it says Drive Type DVD+-R/RW RECORDER, Firmware B2.2, read speed 40X Write speed 40X, buffer size 2mb, no serial No
Ah ok, this is the one http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_file.php?site=tdb1&file=1640PB36.ZIP Lol. That firmware should work now
Hi Ripper i had no luck with the link you gave me, however i was able to find it, and download it, now hold your breath I have just downloaded to a DVD+R disk using Nero, so as it's late i will do another couple in the morning and let you for sure that the problem is solved, thanks for your help tonight
Sorry about that. I am in the UK and had to go to bed.. lol I kept giving you the wrong links (it was late ;P) Anyway what version did you download? And how are the burns going now? Get back to me.
Hi Ripper, yes it was late I'm in the UK to, I went to the firmware page that was from the earlier like, and fromthere i was able to find the one you had been trying to send me. So far i have burnt 2 disk and no problems, so I hope it's safe to say you fixed the problem for me, and that thanks very much. Jim
