Re: DVD R/W Benq drive does not read Sony DVD-R after installing Vista

Check on the BenQ website for an update to the drive. It will NOT be a
driver update but rather a FIRMWARE update... Apparently Vista has
some different responses to media insertion than XP had and this MAY
solve the problem. If they don't have a firmware update you may need
to replace the drive (what I had to do)
