Hello and Good Day,
I suppose as a first post I should make this as coherent as possible to allow you fine individuals to, hopefully, further assist me in my situation.
I purchased a Sony DRX-720UL External Dual Layer/Dual Format DVD Burner for my laptop. It is running on USB 2.0 (via a USB 2.0 PCMCIA Card from IoGear). I can play DVD movies, read DVDs with content already on them, read CD's with content on them etc, however whenever I put a blank DVD into the drive it will read it and (while looking in My Computer) it switches the name of the drive from DVD-RW to CD-Rom Drive. It will not allow a DVD to be read, and I suspect it is a software issue and not hardware.
I would appreciate any assistance in this endeavor and look forward to hearing from any and all of you soon.
Just for the technically inclined, I did use the newest firmware update from Sony's website and I am running Windows XP Home Edition SP2.
Appreciatively Yours,
Borealys II
