Freezing is normally a driver issue but could also be from dodgy memory, overclocking etc. There's no reason at all why there would ever be a problem burning one type of image. It's not like the drive knows the difference between the images, it's all just a bunch of data.

Your log doesn't show any successful burns? Each time you've tried you've got the same error. Try burning the MKM-003-00 (verbatim 8x) discs at 6x. Your drive might prefer that to 2.4x. If that doesn't work, see if you can find some MKM-001-00 discs (Verbatim 2.4x). If they don't work either, try cleaning your drive. If that doesn't work, buy yourself a new one.

YL05 is the latest firmware. Buy a Verbatim BD-RE, they work ok on my one.

How much memory does task manager say is in use / free etc? Have you checked your machine for viruses / spyware / adware etc?

I assume you've tried rebooting your PC?

According to your log, the drive does in fact support burning MKM-003-00 at 6x. If it's scratching discs then something doesn't sound right. You should contact whoever makes the laptop and see what they say.

You can see it right there! SYSTEM.CNF SLUS_213.83 DNAS300.IMG IRXPACK.VIV

That one looks ok so I guess it's just the Verbs it's having trouble with? Keep inserting / ejecting the tray (with a verb in it) and keep and eye on the info.

It could be. Try at 4x and 6x speeds. Then try with 2.4x verbatims - the ones that use the MKM-001-00 dye instead of MKM-003-00 (8x) dye. If none of that works, try the drive in another PC before sending it off for repair or whatever.

So basically your download is corrupt, get it again.

You're just using cheapo media and the drive is failing to write to it. Invest in some decent stuff (Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden) and you should be ok.

Sounds to me as if you're pressing the wrong button. You're clicking on the the 'display graph data using dvdinfopro' one - which of course needs dvdinfopro! Medium not present means there's no disc in the drive - or at least not one your drive supports. btw, that log shows you trying to read what I believe is an xbox disc - they're copy protected and ImgBurn cannot do that.

Click on the 'LBA' column header... pretty much the same as you would do in any other explorer 'details' view.

Even when you sort by LBA? The option works fine in itself - afaik anyway, it certainly did when I tried it. I never said the name order would change, infact I said it wouldn't do.

Everything about that disc info is wrong so I suspect corruption on the bus somewhere. Either you've got a dodgy driver installed or your cable is faulty - that's assuming the drive is actually ok itself. Have you tried it in another pc?

Cynthia was being anything but an arse! She was simply pointing out that the model number you quoted was for a hard disk and not an optical drive - a hint for you to perhaps try and find a different one?! Oh and don't think for a second that she'd have just know that, she'd have Googled it just the same as everyone else would have done. Not everyone is out to get you, some are actually here to help. Lighten up!

Go into the settings and look on the I/O tab. Just change it to one of the others (i.e. away from SPTI). The main website (on the download page) tells you how/where to download the programs that give you the other I/O interfaces if you don't already have them available / installed.

Use the sector viewer to look at the 80 sectors on the disc. If any of them aren't all Zeros after a quick erase then for some reason your drive has failed to write to the disc - but without actually reporting any problem. I've seen several cases where the supplied LG disc doesn't work so that in itself is not an issue, but it is if Verbatims don't work either - they work fine in my H20L.

I don't recall anyone having rolled back ImgBurn and there's no reason for this particular problem to be solved by them doing that anyway. ImgBurn has always requested more than 18 bytes of sense area data and that's where the bug in the drivers comes into play. The easiest fix is to switch to a different I/O interface in the settings. ASPI (when using the Nero WNASPI32.DLL) will limit it to 18 so that works fine and the ElbyCDIO one does the same. I haven't tried it with the patin couffin one so I can't comment on that.

Do you have access to another PC you could try the drive on?

You're using discs that have already failed. Use a new one and it'll either work or you'll get a different message. You did the right thing in ignoring the LB error - it was moaning because it's already been set (and you can't set it twice)

Ignore/forget the advisor program, it has nothing to do with burning. If your drive stops responding to I/O then either the drive itself is stuck (firmware/media issues) or the drivers as a whole are - and that's not something I see happening to a USB drive. It could also be a dodgy filter driver (or some other low level one from a virtual drive program etc). Post your filter drive info from the option in the Tools menu. Just copy it to the clipboard and then 'paste' it. This may also be of interest to you - to make your drive into a GGW-H20L and use the newer firwmware. http://club.cdfreaks.com/f142/lg-blu-ray-c...e06lu11-260811/

Try burning at a faster speed. Firmware is tweaked for speed these days and it's quite possible that burning slower will produce a worse burn rather than a better one. Give 8x and 12x a go. You could also give some Taiyo Yuden 8x DVD-R (TYG02 dye) discs a go - burn them at the full 8x. As for the 2nd attempt... you can't normally reuse a disc once it's failed, throw it in the bin.

Verbatim makes the only BD-RE discs that seem to work. You should give those a go.
