Dell XPS 410 / Vista Home Premium SP2
TSSTcorp CDRWDVD TS-H493A
If I put a CD in that has data on it and then click on the drive to view data, the drawer opens and a window tells me to please insert data. If I put a blank CD in and click on drive the same thing happens. It appears it will neither read nor write.
I tried a Firmware update, tsst_ts493a_ib03.exe. When I run it the drive is listed so it appears to be recognized (?) but when I click on that Download File Open there is a file 493BD400.BIN and I end up with a message telling me that the Firmware is not compatible with the selected drive.
Is there anything I can do to fix and/or check this out? Please keep it simple because I'm no computer tech.
The computer also has a PHILIPS DVD-+RW DVD8881 that appears to be working.
