Trouble reading new Sony 140 Drive - DON'T BUY SONY 140'S!!!!!

[admin]

Take the Sony CDR back and get your money refunded. I have just updated our Website CDR page with a stronger DO NOT BUY message. Sony used the 140 number for an entirely new drive. This has never been done before, and they should not have done it. It will cause grief for every user and us, and SONY for as long as that drive is in use in the marketplace.

GET RID OF IT NOW! Save yourself a lot of grief. It is clear from the Device Manager data you quote above (and others have told us) that this drive is non-standard, and definitely not a 140 model. If you keep the drive, you got what you paid for.

GET RID OF IT NOW!
