I can't do anything about checking if the media is the problem till i can buy this Verbatim or Taiyo Yudens you recommend and try that when i try to update my firmware i get a message telling me it is DE01 and then it takes me to a page that says the following: Your search string is: CDRW/DVD TSL462C The results are as follows: Thu Aug 16, 2007 11:39 pm Error while searching for data. Sorry. The specified string could not be found. i got this a few times as it was one of the first things i did after reading that other person's question and your responses. though i am far from being a computer newbie i am also far from being an expert especially in this area... I know what IDE is but what is DMA and how do i make sure it is on for all IDE channels? i can't give a log as i have not burned anything bad or good, but once i am able to try again i will keep that in mind in the meantime if i view the log this is what i find I 19:19:58 ImgBurn Version 2.3.2.0 started! I 19:19:58 Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition (5.1, Build 2600 : Service Pack 2) I 19:19:58 Total Physical Memory: 1,039,740 KB - Available: 524,964 KB I 19:19:58 Initialising SPTI... I 19:19:58 Searching for SCSI / ATAPI devices... I 19:19:59 Found 1 DVD-ROM/CD-RW! all help and advise is appreciated as if nothing else it gives me something else to try.

I was reading the help question the person had that turned out he needed a dvd writer, but it led me to a question. I know i have a dvd burner, but have never used it as it is not my thing so never got software for it. however i did upgrade my roxio which supposedly lets you, but i can't i decided to try this image burn, but i either get the unable to recover TOC or no media. i know there's nothing wrong with my hardware, but i'm not sure if it is the discs of which i have tried 3 now or something else they are DVD-R. any suggestions or advise? it never occured to me that roxio or another program might automatically be formating the discs i am putting in, and since i use the discs to record on my dvd recorder (family video to dvd) i don't want to risk unnecessarily making them unusable if this is the case. Thanks for any help or suggestions
