All burners require "updating" to fix bugs and ensure compatibilty with
the ever increasing range of blank media, this type of update is called
a "firmware". Identify the exact model in device manager, then visit
the Lite-On site for your global locality, click on downloads, and follow
the instructions for "flashing the firmware" for that specific model.

I bought a Lite-On DVD Burner from wally world and I am not sure why but
allot of DVD's are not showing up. I was haveing this problem with other
DVD's but I brought them back and had them replaced and they were working
better. Than I bought some HP DVD-R with the hope that the DVD would read
it. Its doing the same thing again where it won't read them. I hear a
grinding noise after the DVD starts reading the disk. I don't know if there
is something physically wrong with the burner or if I am haveing bad luck
buying DVD's.

Please help. Thanks.
