Question Sony DRU-500A problems

I have a Dell Precision 220- Pentium 3 -728 - 500mb RAM.
I am running win 2k, with record now max and nero 5.5.15a.

I have used Bulkpaq 1x media which take about an hour to burn and are not compatible in many dvd players.
I have recently aqquired Ritek 2x silver discs with purple bottoms. I was told they should of had a white printable surface on them but such was demand that they were released without surface.
After several copies I found these are compatible in alot more dvd players(even my ps2 that would not play bulkpaq)
The only problem is now I am experiencing alot of coasters with record now max(and nero)
The error codes aren't even in the help section to tell me what the problem is.

I upgraded my firmware from 2.0C to 2.0E but no difference.
I checked a sony compatible list and it says for the Ritek media I should be using 1.0F.

The thing is I don't know how to downgrade firmware as I did not even know how to disable DMA settings in win2k!

Can anyone offer help or suggestions or should I move on to more expensive media like Verbatim?

Any help appreciated.

Scott.

Firmware 1.0f and 1.0g support 2x burning of 1x Riteks. Are you just getting these errors with your Ritek? What version ps2 do you have and are your dvd players capable for playing recorded media? I believe you downgrade the same way you upgrade.

sony dru500a problems

I started using the latest Nero 5.10.15a with firmware 2.0E , once I burn .nrg image to hard drive using image recorder and then burn image back to dvd using sony recorder it works fine at 2 X using Clone dvd-r purple base......but I must do as two separate jobs in Nero?

If I burn to image hd as temp image and then to dvd all in one job i get coasters.
Strange but at least its working.

Cheers
Scott.
