Can this model of my Dvd reader : "LG GSA-H42N" burn dual layered dvds ?

the laser is probably dead.only solution is to replace them.

Hi,

Yes you can connect the LG GSA DVD RW to your netbook and it should work fine.
Install software like Nero burn or Lightscribe to burn DVDs.

You dont need drivers to connect or install the LG DVD as it is compatible to with netbook.

Thank you for contacting FixYa

Enable DMA mode, and choose reducing burning speed. Is a Low Quality DVD-Drive, I prefer ASUS DVD-Drive. Reads all, and Burning without fails,

if it is comes under warrenty

no it doesn't

Time to replace the drive.
A good source is newegg.com

hmm..well..you can get most Dell drivers through this link

Maybe your dvd's are pirated.. some dvd only plays original dvd.

G'Day,

I have the same issue with the LG GSA-H20L and the LG GSA-42N, but mine was with TDK DVDs.

I contacted LG Support and they told me that TDK disks are not recommended for use with their DVD Burners.

I asked them if there were any others they did not reccomend and they said no.

Going through my cupboard, I found Memorex Printable DVD-Rs that will burn OK.

I also tried Sony DVD+R and a generic brand, but they will not burn either.

I also found that these LG drives do not recognise Laser CD-R.

In short, for burning, try either Memorex, LG and some others, but don't try TDK, Sony or Laser.

Good Luck

yes... but you need to have a good ammount of RAM memory and Disk drive space to achieve that since dual layer disc are up to 8 gigs..
