LightScribe SuperMulti DVD±R/RW with Double Layer Support is no longer able to read all lightscribe discs(Blank or Containing Data)

Hi,
The product Name of my computer is: HP Pavilion dv6-6093ex Entertainment
Notebook PC support
The number of my computer is : LM610EA#A2N.
Could anyone please at this splendid forum take some of their precious time
out to really reply my questions and solve my problems?
FIRST OF ALL:
My HP Pavilion Laptop is about 3 years old.
My
sister's Dell Inspiron laptop is 3 years old.
My HP laptop is well-cared, as opposed to my sister's Inspiron Dell laptop, which is always thrown in dust without caring at all. Also, its battery is always inserted even when it is fully charged while the laptop is plugged in to the main power supply. 
However, my laptop is either used on only battery, or on plugin. Also, it is kept from the dust. But, I really found that the battery of the Dell laptop still lasts about three and half hours, and there is no problem cooling fan is not properly properly.
I only remember one thing differently done on my laptop battery which is I charged it fully, then I stored it without using it for about four months, then when I reused it, I found it got worse over time. I.e. first time of using it after storing,I found
it empty, then I charged it again fully, however, then it lasted about 2 hours, then 1 and half hours, next an hour, now it is only lasting about 20 minutes without performance. If there is high performance, then
the computer shuts down suddenly.
My problem is follows:::
First: Whenever I inserted any Containing Data OR  Data CD/DVD-RLightScribe discs, I found that HP optical driver was
unable to read them. When clicking on the optical disc drive 'double-click' while disc was inserted, then I found that disc opened as this way(NOTE: With a CD/DVD player is grayed out)
I  was told 'I suspect the culprit might be hardware and lightscribe dive might be
corrupt. Please sent it to service center to check. In addition, this thread could be as a reference:

Since no one replied to me at HP forums, although my HP laptop is one of their products, I had to post my problem here to know if my driver is corrupted and needs to be replaced or not.
Blank Or Used(containg data) CD/ DVD ±R/RW lightscirbe is unable to be read by optical drive
When clicking on drive 'duble-click', I found it opens  like a USB FlashDrive or With a CD,DVD player, however,

Not Blank(containing data) CD/ DVD ±R/RW NON -Lightscirbe disc opens normal:

I tried running the below command line to fix potential disk issue 'Chkdsk/r /f'
I cleaned the drive, discs, and so on.
I have uninstalled the all third-party data recording software.
I have uninstalled the Cyber DVD suite, lightscribe system software
which came pre-installed with my HP pavilion Notebook.
I have recovered my system from the HP Factory Recovery discs.
I have tried opening all those LightScibe discs not opening on my HP optical drive, on a Dell optical drive, and all of them were opened well, although Dell optical drive did not have a lightscribe feature at all., nor  third party disc recording software.
However, the problem is still with opening the discs LIGHT-SCRIBE.
Thus, my questions are:
How to determine if the drive is corrupted and needs to be replaced with another one.
I think there something needed to be done on the BIOS Of my HP laptop[[[A similar problems happened on my Desktop computer's optical drive which is as follows (ALL discs are opened as empty by Optical Drive of My Desktop Computer) ---while
my optical drive of my desktop was connected to the
primary slave IDE, and the HDD was connected to the primary master IDE, the optical drive and hard disk are functioning well. However, I remember that while burning an image with Nero essential V: 5, something went wrong, and
then the Optical Drive of My Desktop Computer (HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM GH22NP20) became NOTrecognised/Installed on
BIOS, although it was still shown on the device manager as a recognised device. Also, it was listed on my computer, however, when entering a disc(blank or with data) into the drive, I found it was not recognised, and it opened empty(no files
at it), although it contains data. Thus, I decided to boot to BIOS, and clicked on 'Autodetection for IDE', then I found that only HDD was still shown as installed on BIOS.  However, the optical drive was not. Th I tried clicking on it on BIOS and then
clicking on 'enter' to try to let the device be re-recognized. However, that
made no difference. I had to take part my computer ,and then reconnected the optical drive onto thesecondary slave IDE , and let HDD connected to the same
primary master IDE. Then, I found that the problem solved and all discs were read normally. Aslo, optical drive became installed on BIOS.
What is meant with with double Layer Support.
How much does it cost?

Did you try unsinatalling LightScribe application then checking the status ? 
This is probably related to the faulty hardware or the application ( LightScribe

Could you please really concentrate with me, and really reply to me to finish this problem pending.
If you had had a look again at my first post, you would have seen that I said that I have done some things, among of which is: I have uninstalled the Cyber DVD suite, lightscribe system software
which came pre-installed with my HP pavilion Notebook.
Yes, you're right the two threads below are concerned about one issue.

However, this thread contains more precise details and screen shots about the problem. I was not able to understand whether all lightscribs were not unable to be read or not. However, I now recognized that, and I recognized that only all LightScribe(empty
or used) discs are unable to be read. furthermore, that other thread got far too longer to be followed.
Moreover, I would like you to take some time out to answer my problem about Lighstscribe discs since I am going to purchase 'A battery, Cooling Fan' From the HP agent in Yemen, which is far away from me about 1000 Km. Thus, If my optical disc drive was corrupted
as well, then I would be requesting the 'optical disc  drive' as well from the HP along with 'Battery, Cooling Fan' .

  • How does it work? SuperDrive with double-layer support

    Hi,
    Can anyone help me? I own a macbook with SuperDrive with double-layer support. I want to try to burn a dvd with the dual layer, how does this work? Which applications do i need? I have been searching for info on this subject but havent succeeded so far..

    Any standard burning application such as Toast (or OS Xs built in burning) will burn a dual layer disk. You don't need to do anything special... it will just see the disk with double the capacity. What you do need to do is get dual layer DVDs. They're not all that easy to find at many retail stores, but they're pretty easy to find online.

    HI @cooperator 
    I understand that you are having an issue with your battery and the lightscribe drive. You would also like to know about DL(Dual Layer) support.
    Here is a link to  Troubleshooting the notebook battery to assist with the battery concern.
    You asked what dual layer support is , here is a definition from webopedia for the explanation.
    What is dual layer support
    As you stated in your post your system supports  reading
    The DL refers to dual layer, it does not list a CD DL.  What type of disk are you using?
     From your post I noticed it does read the title of the disk but is unable to read the file.
    Did you use any form of compression software  when writing the files?
    Would you try inserting a  supported blank disk and writing to it.  If you can do this and read the disk after your drive is functioning.
    The only other way to check would be to remove and reinstall it  into another computer to test if it works there.
    Yes there is a bios update listed on the driver page for your notebook.

    I hope this helps!
    Thanks a lot,
    I wish that Paul_Tikkanen could have participated in solving this issue since I know he has insight in such problems.
    Could you please be a little bit patient with me and go through all my points below and answer me::
    IF you had  had a close look at my screen shots before, you would have seeing I have classified the disc haveing and not having the problem  into three categories each of which has its screen shots under it.
    Blank Or Used(containg data) CD/ DVD ±R/RW lightscirbe is unable to be  read by optical drive
    Not Blank(containing data) CD/ DVD ±R/RW NON -Lightscirbe disc opens normal
    Blank CD/ DVD ±R/RW NON-lightscirbe opens normal(Opens like a USB FlashDrive or With a CD,DVD)::
    First The kind of discs I have been used to using, and seeing in the market are only:
    CD-R, C-RW, DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW.
    However, I never ever used or saw 'CD-ROM, DVD-RAM, DVD-ROM CD-R DL, CD+R DL, DVD-R DL, DVD+R DL, CD-RW DL, CD+RW DL, DVD-RW DL, DVD+RW DL.
    Thus, Could you please be a little more detailed about each of the above disc types?
    Second: I don't know if I can see 'DVD+R DL' written on the cover of DVD like what I am accustomed to see 'DVD-R'?
    Third: What difference is there between 'DVD-RW', and 'DVD-RW DL', and 'DVD-R' and 'DVD-R DL'?

    NOTE, those discs are for HP Factory Recovery Discs.I have created those Discs via HP Recovery Manager.  After creating them, I have labelled them with lightscribe software. ALL LightScribe are not read well and are unknown. Thus, my answer for your question is No, I don't use compression software unless if the program 'HP Recovery Manager' used a compression built-in tool while creating those discs'
    Moreover, I have even restored my laptop from the HP factory Recovery discs which means everything must have been OK

    Would you try inserting a  supported blank disk and writing to it.  If you can do this and read the disk after your drive is functioning.
    Have you seen my screen shots well?
    The key of my problem as to unable to reading LightScribe is the answer of this question of mine: Why do I see 'RAW' or 'unknown' as a file system for disc inserted whenever I insert a ligthSribe disc into drive?
    All Blank Or containing data CD/ DVD ±R/RW lightscirbe are unable to be  read by optical drive. When clicking on drive 'duble-click', I found it opens  like a USB FlashDrive or With a CD,DVD player, however, 'with CD/DVD Player' is grayed out) When I chose 'like a USB FlashDrive, I found there was no disc inserted, although it was.
    If you mean other discs not LightScribe, then I would be saying YES. And they all worked well, except the lightscribe(Blank, or containing data) were not read well at all.(all are unknown).

    You mean I need to remove the optical drive and install on another laptop brand. If so, It would be compatible with any laptop brand?
    NOTE: the reason around this problem is not lightscribe discs(I think) since any optical drive without having a lightscribe feature can read lightscribe discs. For instance the Dell laptop(Windows 7) could read all lightscribe disc or non lightscribe discs, even although it doesn't have any lightscribe feature, nor a disc recording software, except the Windows built-in default  tools. Dell optical drive, although not having a lightscribe feature, read all discs no matter the disc type is. Thus, In my HP optical drive having a lightscribe feature, I have decided to get rid of (lightscribe feature by removing the lightscribe system software, and all Cyber DVD-Suite). However, the problem is still with reading lightscribe discs.

    Updating the BIOS
    First:: I have updated my BIOS from F.05 into F.1B by using HP Notebook System BIOS Update (Intel Processors) (sp55068) F.1B hoping to get rid of this problem, but that made no difference at all.
    NOTE
    Other suggested that I insert an empty rewritable CD and try running the following command: format e: /fs:UDF
    I did, but it didn't help.
    Other suggested to download the latest version LightSribe system software, but I would be saying how to do that as long as HP would be phasing out HP LightScribe Direct Disc Labeling technology. HP will gradually transition products to comparable optical disc drives without LightScribe technology.
    Second:: I've also been searching in HP forums, but always they said nonsense comments which I don't put up with. Take this one for example,
    I'd be happy to do all I can to help with your lightscribe.Please note:Beginning May 2011 and throughout the year, HP will be phasing out HP LightScribe Direct Disc Labeling technology. HP will gradually transition products to comparable optical disc drives without LightScribe technology. While this transition may affect other HP products, this document is specific to HP notebooks.- Source
    This might be helpful too; Creating disc labels with LightScribe
    NOTE:Hewlett-Packard's LightScribe website is no longer active. LightScribe software and disc utilities
    may be found on a number of public websites. Search the Internet for LightScribeto find these pages.
    This blurb and much more information can be found in the following document; Creating Disc Labels with LightScribe
    The compelet discussion is here.
    Finally I would be saying that LightScribe website is no longer available(discontinued). As HP said. IF HP customer care couldn't help their customers, I think it would be better to completely discontinue selling HP products.

  • Portege R600 - Is the DVD drive compatible with double layer disks?

    The Australian specs for the *R600 PPR61A* state that the unti contains: *DVD SuperMulti Double Layer (7mm)*
    The R600 however does not recognise any blank double layer DVD discs using either Windows burning tools or Toshiba Disc Creator.
    Is this a mistake in the specs (being completely misleading), or do I have a driver/configuration problem?
    Australian specs are available here: http://203.56.127.51/%2fTOPIC%2fproduct_details%2fproduct%2f20090325%2f Toshiba_PortegeR600_PPR61A-00300R_Specification_Brochure_Mar09.PDF

    Hello
    Are you really sure that your ODD can recognize double layer DVD’s?
    I mean on the specification of the ODD you can find a mark (#) and on the second page you find the following information about this:
    #=> +CD/DVD write capability may vary depending on the type/brand of media utilized+
    So I think your model is equipped with a non double layer ODD.
    But you can check this for example with Nero as Chad suggested.
    What does Nero say?

  • Multi 8x DVD R/RW double layer support?

    I'm a new computer owner with an inherited Presario CQ50-115NR.  Please tell me if the Optiarc DVD RW AD-7580 S with FH-02 revision (or, as it was described in the ad, Super Multi 8x DVD R/RW with Double Layer Support)  can play and record CDs, too?  Thank you.

    Your notebook does have a lightscribe supported DVD drive (LightScribe SuperMulti 8X DVD±R/RW with Double Layer Support). You can validate that from specs on the website over here
    There is another way to check that. Slimline drives may not have enough space for a LightScribe logo on the drive tray cover, but a LightScribe logo sticker should be affixed to all LightScribe-enabled notebooks. To make sure, the presence of the disc encoder sensor can verify that a drive is LightScribe-enabled. Looking straight down on the spindle after the drive tray is opened, then look for presence of a LightScribe disc encoder sensor as an indicator of LightScribe capability.

  • IDVD 5 Pioneer DVR 109 and OS 10.4.3: Double layer support ?

    My Pioneer DVR 109 (non Apple firmware) hasn´t been recognized by iDVD as a double layer drive. I heard rumors that from 10.4.3 on many non Apple drives will be supported by the system and indeed when clicking the profiler it now says APPLE SUPPORTED instead of VENDOR SUPPORTED. Unfortunately, when opening iDVD there is still only the 4 GByte option available. Any thoughts or ideas what this means?
    Thanks and regards
    Wolfgang Fogel

    If you happened to buy your 109 from MCE Technologies, or some other vendor that provided an installer to provide iDVD native double layer support, use the uninstaller supplied by the vendor (or call their tech support department).
    If I understand it properly the file that was modified under these schemes was System/library/frameworks/DiskRecording.frameworks/Version/A/Frameworks /DiscRecordingEngine.framework/Version/A/Resources/
    VendorSupport.drprofile. The original should have been renam ed,saved and replaced with one from the vendor.
    Now you will need to restore the original.

  • Backing Up my library with Double layer DVDs

    I recently tried to back up all my 20GB of music and video content from my iTunes library.
    Using File>Library>Back Up library I inserted a DL DVD+R and it says that iTunes needs 6 discs in order to perform the back up. I thought about it and it's completely impossible for it to need 6 discs like these to do the back up.
    If you do the math it would only take 3 of them to complete the back up. Suppose I have more videos or TV shows, still 6 discs would make this ilogical. Does anyone know if it's possible to burn the back up using Double Layer Discs?

    Just buy an external hard drive and back up your library, as well as all playlists, play counts, etc., by simply copying the entire iTunes folder over onto the external hard drive. Optical discs are too much of a pain, at least until all our computer come with blue ray burners.

  • DVD drive not burning double layer discs

    I was burning a double layer DVD this morning, using Verbatim media, which I've never had any problems with. The drive I was using was a Pioneer DVR-A18M. All of a sudden, after I successfully burned one disc and inserted another DL disc, it refused to burn anymore. I forget the exact error message, but it was something along the lines of the media wasn't recognized, and this persisted for multiple discs that I tried.
    Now, yesterday, a friend let me borrow a movie that had a crack in it and the disc came apart in my internal Pioneer drive - but it still worked after that. Odd thing was that the drive would still read and play movies, music, etc but it wouldn't burn anything, tho I don't know if it would burn things other than DL media because I didn't try.
    Anyways, while the Pioneer drive - which I just bought after New Years - had been working well, I decided to replace it due to the fact that it wouldn't burn DL discs and a few other minor issues I'd been having with it. The one main issue was that if I left a disc in the drive for too long, I wouldn't be able to eject it or load any new applications. I'd have to reboot the computer to get the disc out, something I never had to do with the only Sony drive that came with my G5.
    So, I replaced it with an LG GH22. Upon trying it out, it burned a single layer DVD-R, but will not burn a DL disc. The error message this new drive gives me is, from with Toast:
    Sense Key = Illegal Request
    Sense Code = 0x24
    Invalid Field in CDB
    If it would help, I could put the Pioneer drive back in and see exactly what that error message was.
    Oh, one last thing. I'd like to replace the E-IDE cable I have, as disc media is never able to reach its full burning speed potential. I'm guessing it's due to the old IDE cable, as my G5 is from 2005?
    Thanks!

    Ok, I tried using Dragon Burn instead of Toast and it worked fine and the DL disc plays. I have to run out to MCAT class but when I get home, I'll mess around with it some more and try using Toast again, the old drive, etc.

  • External double layer support?

    Does iDVD 6 support double layer burning with an external drive? I currently use iDVD 5 and use the "French plug-in" to accomplish this. If not, does this plug-in work with iDVD 6? Do we know if iDVD 7 will support external double layer burning?
    Thanks.

    Actually, ALL DVD players support dual layer. If it doesn't it is not a DVD player. Most commercially produced DVDs are Dual Layer (DVD-9 or DVD-14, I cannot remember which.)
    The reason you should use iDVD to make the dual layer DVD is to ensure proper placement of the data on the layers so that a player can handle the layer transition without a pause. Disk Utility can burn a dual layer DVD, but it does not check the contents of the image file to ensure correct placement of the video data. Other applications may look inside the image to correctly place the data. You will need to look at the applications user guide to see if it does so. A dual layer disk burned with Disk Utility might work, it might not. It depends on how Disk Utility happened to burn the data.

  • Can I obtain a CD-ROM with the latest revision of Adobe Reader for a Windows XP system w/ Service Pack 3. I do not want to go online with this system. I have dedicated it to read all of my PDF Files only.

    I have 4 computer systems, 2 of which run under Windows XP w/ Service Pack 3. I have dedicated these systems to the task of reading all of my PDF Files which I have collected from my recent college career. The desktop system I want to use is an old Dell Optiplex GX240 with Acrobat Reader 4.0. The other Windows XP system I have is an old HP Laptop with Adobe Reader 8.1.4 installed. I want to update both systems to the latest version that is available for Windows XP w/Service Pack 3 installed. So, because I do not want to place these system online, would it be possible for me to obtain a copy of the Adobe Reader software I need on a CD-ROM? - Ken DeWitt, a 68-Year-Young Vietnam Veteran and recent college graduate...Summa Cum Laude.

  • Filling PDF forms with in-house software - pdf no longer works in Reader

    I have created a PDF form in Acrobat 8.1.0 Pro and enabled the "Filling of form fields" feature.
    1)
    I can open this form in Adobe Reader, fill fields, save, load / repeat process as many times as I want with no problems.
    What we would like to be able to do is "pre-fill" some of the form fields using an in-house application with some data and save. At a later time, users would need to add additional information.
    If I open one of these pre-filled forms with Adobe Reader, it immediately gives an error message and closes the file:
    "This document contained certain rights to enable special features in Adobe Reader. The document has been changed since it was created and these rights are no longer valid. Please contact the author for the original version of this document."
    Other programs such as "Foxit" and "AmiUni PDFSuite" don't seem to care that the file was pre-filled.
    Is this because Adobe Reader actually checks some sort of CRC or signature which was created at the time the initial PDF form was created by Adobe Pro - and if the signature is no longer valid Adobe Reader won't go any further?
    2)
    What would be the options to get around this problem? Is there a way to accomplish this with Adobe Pro? We need to be able to pre-fill some fields in the form from our application, then have the user complete filling the form manually.
    Thanks!

    Enabling usage rights in reader grants specific rights for a given document - form fill in, saving, signing, etc. Reader checks if something else has been done to the document beyond the scope of the rights granted and apparently the program you are using to add the form data is triggering this test for some reason. There is a digital signature which isused to check this, plus an analysis of what has changed in incremental save sections.
    What you are trying to do should work in principal. If the developer of the application is available, have them look at what else is being changed besides the addition of form data. They should be able to fix the problem.
    If the pre-fill data is the same for each user, you can definitely run the pre-fill and then enable usage in reader.
