Went to all sorts of places, tech lines, support (including Sony VAIO), no joy or a response 'reload original image backup' - yea right, and blow away 15 months work necessitating another data restore and re-installing god knows how much software after 15 months of activity (this knee jerk cue-card driven response from 'techs' on 'support lines' who have just about recognised a pc, and read out generic cue card solutions are dam lethal and need shooting at birth).Īfter searching I came across this thread. Huge problem for me as I need it for my own Business, my Company & livelihood depended on that drive working.
I have a Sony VAIO VGN-AR51E, 15 months old, very reliable - great machine - until this.
Matshita-DVD-RAM-UJ-850S was not properly recognised, would not eject (had to do it manually via the hole with a paper clip, as the software eject routine was failing), DVD or CD would spin a couple of times and then die, and windows reported error 19, incomplete registry information. J-Train - that was a life saver, I am forever grateful you took the time and trouble to post.įor those searching for this problem.
