Hi - you should take a look at the samsung site find your drive and see if theres an update that should clear the problem



hope this helps

Even reformatting won't cure it.

I know there is a way - I will post tomorrow when I've found the relevant bits, if nobody else posts by then.

Try googling for a hack for your dvd - you will need to know the model.
