Philips CDD6911 .. problems..;-(

[otak]

I have this CD-RW from a year and always have a problems with writing to the CD-s. The bigger issue is that can't recognise that there is a CD in drive and usually my PC blocked...and I need to go 4 a shut down procedure...

My Win is XP , Athlon-2400 , 256RAM , and I am using CD-R blank and Samsung CD-RW with Nero 5. I wonder if I change the CD's like Sony there will be a bigger chance? Also is very difficult to find new firmware...?

Thank you , especialy if you could give me some information..
