I'm just stuck with no DVD burner on my VAIO Computer... (Pionner DVR-A03/103)

Few weeks ago I installed the "hotfix" recommended by VAIO support page (UDF Reader QFE (Q329112) Update Utility ) http://esupport.sony.com/perl/swu-d...id=1404&SMB=YES and after installed that my DVD just "die"

I just tried everything I could... in fact, I just re-installed all my OS (Windows XP Home Edition) and the problem still there... I can't read any disc on my DVD (CD or DVD) The computer identify the hardware but there is no way the DVD read any disc.

At the end I'm sure the problem was the infamous"hotfix" because before I installed everything was ok.

By the way... I jus did the follow task and nothing works:

Try to uninstall the hotfix
Use the recovery tool in Windows XP
Update the firmware from Pionner web site
Uninstall and install the driver
Re-install all the OS

Please help me, the technical support from VAIO just SUCKS !!

Before I lost my DVD burner I just backup all my files in DVD discs (4.7 GB) and now there's no way I can recover my data.

In advance thanks,

Tony

Bummer of a problem. I would still keep at Sony for help at the same time.
