VGC-V2M DVD WRITE PROBLEM! HELP!!

[anna17]

I've had my VGC-V2M for a year now and have never really had any problems, Sony's e-support seems to be non existent as I cant seem to register or log on. My pc has a Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-k141 cd/dvd writer. When I try to write/transfer an avi file or something similar to a dvd-r that is + or - I get a error box that states 'windows has encountered a problem trying to copy this file. What would you like windows to do?'
Ummm? Like, copy the file damnit! and it then gives me the option to retry or cancel. Retrying is useless as it will just state the same message. But if I write music files to a cd-r that is easy as pie. It does it!
And sometimes when I do try it again I get a Dr watson thing telling me that 'Windows explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close'
For the love of god please help me. I dont know what to do.

Hi,

Don't know if you've seen my thread regarding my DVR-K14L drive not seeing blank discs?

Well, after all my trying to fix it with various methods, it seems that a Bios update from Vaio-Link did the trick. Don't know if this'll work in your case, but you've got more-or-less the same drive and a similar problem to mine, so it might be worth a try...

Just had another thought whilst reviewing this thread; I see you uninstalled and reinstalled the drive, but did you try the same with the IDE ATA/ATAPI conrollers?

If you go to control panel - system - hardware - device manager - IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers. You should see primary and secondary channels. Right click and drop down to "uninstall" click on uninstall and then restart the computer. The computer should detect and re-install on startup...

(I did actually get the above info from a chap on another forum, so if it works for you, thank him! )

Good luck!

Know it might sound simple, but did you try to reinstall Drag n Drop?

[anna17]

I drag and drop the files with windows. So I dont think you can uninstall that. But thanks for trying to help.
Exinferis - I'll try the update as well as the IDE ATA/ATAPI conrollers. Thanks.:smileybatting_eyelashes:

If it's drag n drop then yes it can be uninstalled
