I'm very happy about getting my new comp., but there are two things that I do not like about it, first of all the graphics card, i know most ppl have told me about getting rid of it and believe me I will as soon as I can and second of all I'm having a problem with the dvd burner, it will read all the other kind of media except dvd-r, could it be the brand , they are Verbatum, do you think that is the reason or is it just the burner,please get back to me.

hmmm this looks like your dvd burner is pretty new, a firmware upgrade will normally solve your problem

On your video card, yeah if you want to unleash the full power of your system your going to need a better one. For your DVD burner, a firmware upgrade would be a good idea, and yes, Verbatim discs are crap to begin with.

SOHW-822S , I bought 3 types of DVD-R Media, Verbatum, Memorex, and Sony... and sony is the only one it would read.

I guess I'm just picky like always, but isn't it named Verbatim? :p

Look around on diverse driver sites for updated drivers or new firmware, it's kinda weird that it's reading only one brand oO

Maybe you should contact they/there you got your computer, maybe they can help out... I've never seen this problem before, so I really got no idea.

Well, on their website I found a manual and as it turns out the dvd burner only works with certain types of dvd media...go figure( I wonder why they just didn't mention it in the camp. manual.
