Hello,
Try this 1
Go to your DVD-Writer manufacture's website and check if the firmware update is available.
Click on Start --> Run --> Type devmgmt.msc and press Enter. "Device Manager" will be opened.
Expand "DVD/CD-ROM drivers" by double-clicking on it or by clicking on the "+" symbol.
There you can find your DVD-Drive manufacture's name and model number.
Good Luck
