Cover Disc 201 not working on HP DVDRAM GT50N

Post by OraKLE »

I need some help. I tried reading issue 201 disc on my laptop, but it keeps telling me that there is no disc in the drive. I tried other CDs and everything works fine. Does anyone else have a problem like this?

I'm on Win 7 pro 64bit. The drive is an HP DVDRAM GT50N. I updated windows and some drivers. I looked for a firmware of the drive but i couldn't find any. I also looked for drivers of the DVD-drive but to no avail. The drive is currently using Microsoft drivers dated 2006.

Chances are the disk is faulty... Check it in another PC. If you still have no luck, check the back of the cover disk sleeve for details on how to return it and get another...

Hi OraKLE

Could you please check the DVD in another machine? If it doesn't work, please email garth at panorama dot co dot za and I will arrange so that we can get the DVD back from you (to ask the press why it is faulty) and get you a new DVD.
