If it fails, post the log too.
Log files attached. The problem appears to be Win 7 related, as I re-ran the ISO burn attempt on an old Win2K machine with an identical drive (and firmware revision) and the correct CD size was detected, as evidenced in "Win2K_disk-info.txt".
Also I re-ran the test against another DVD-RW drive (Sony AW-G170A 1.71) in my Win 7 machine and it failed in a similar manner.
Anything further I can add, or do please ask.

Using ImgBurn 2.5.1.0 with Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit) to burn an ISO file, the operation fails because of incorrectly sensed disk capacity, details pasted below. NB Windows CD Burner burns the ISO correctly.

Presently, if one wishes to erase an RW disc it is necessary to"fake" a write operation and then gain access to the erase option via the Tools menu. It would be very convenient if access could be available via the GUI, or even via the Tools menu without having to fake a write operation.
CD Size Error
in ImgBurn Bugs

OK I performed the firmware update and still obtain the same symptoms, but I accepted your suggestion to proceed with the burn and it went to a successful completion (log attached). I accept your word that the problem is 'upstream' of ImgBurn, but I can't see the drive reporting an incorrect value, more likely it is a Redmond introduced error somewhere in the software stack through which you gain drive access? If it was the drive then I would expect similar symptoms from the identical drive in my Win2K machine, given that they were purchased at the same time from the same source.
Anyway the problem doesn't stop me burning ISOs so I'm happy to let this go unless you have an interest in tracking the source of the bug. If you do I'm at your disposal as a test bed.
Many thanks for your help.
