    hi, just got a new all format external dvd Writer (HPDVD 1040e). I'm havin some trouble burning to some "LOGIK" dvd-r's. I know it's prob cos they're cheap, but i remember reading that you should flash update DVD writers. how do i go about doing this?

    Didnt find any firmware updates at HP for this drive, so try burning at a slower speed with those DVDs.

    thanks mate. I tried at 8x then 4x so i think its just crap disks from dixons. Its a 20 pack that was reduced to about £3 so i'll just go through them. unless it's a problem with the nero software that came with it. I'll try again anyway.
