Driver for dvd/cd model/gsa-h42n - LG GSA-H42N 18x DVD RW DL IDE Drive (Black) Burner

SOURCE: LG MODEL NUMBER GSA-H42N 18X SUPERMULTI DVD BURNER NOT ABLE TO WRITE ON SONY DVD-RW DISC

in window under my computer is your DVD writer shown as DVD-RAM drive, if not then re-instal the drivers for your DVD.

If its installed as DVD-RAM then right click the DVD-RAM icon in the my computer and choose properties, under the recording tab select enable recording, try burning a cd using the windows xp based roxio by sending your files to the DVD-ROM.
If it burn a CD this way then all you neec to do is use a different CD burning application software.

SOURCE: need updated LG driver for GSA-H42N DVD

Just install drivermax software and check for its newer version, it will automatically search and install the recent version of the driver.

SOURCE: I think I have worn out my LG GSA-H42N CD/DVD

Hi, as your LG GSA-H42N CD/DVD had an IDE interface you need a drive with the same type of interface .I had to replace my internal drive after years of use.As it was a Pioneer brand with an IDE interface I replaced it with a Pioneer DVR-A 18 L which cost £17.99.from Amazon.co.uk and that included free postage.

SOURCE: the writer is not reading

Hi, you can try a cleaning CD as writers are suseptable to dust; if this does'nt work it is probably a faulty laser and you will need to replace the writer.
