Actually, managed to find an update for the firmware on the drive, now have SC03, usin the Samsung live update software, and seems to work fine when picking up the disc capacity.

Here's the log I 12:47:18 ImgBurn Version 2.4.2.0 started! I 12:47:18 Microsoft Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600 : Service Pack 3) I 12:47:18 Total Physical Memory: 3,140,136 KB - Available: 2,376,316 KB I 12:47:18 Initialising SPTI...

Hi, I searched the forums but couldn't seem to find anything similr to this, so here goes - TSSTcorp CDDVDW TS-L633L SC01 (ATA) Current Profile: DVD+RW Disc Information: Status: Empty Erasable: Yes Formatted: No Free Sectors: 2,295,104 Free Space: 4,700,372,992 bytes Free Time: 510:03:29 (MM:SS:FF) Supported Write Speeds: 3x Physical Format Information (ADIP): Disc ID: INFODISC-A10-01 Book Type: DVD+RW Part Version: 2 Disc Size: 120mm Maximum Read Rate: Not Specified Number of Layers: 1 Track Path: Parallel Track Path (PTP) Linear Density: 0.267 um/bit Track Density: 0.74 um/track First Physical Sector of Data Area: 196,608 Last Physical Sector of Data Area: 2,491,711 Last Physical Sector in Layer 0: 0 Physical Format Information (Last Recorded): Disc ID: INFODISC-A10-01 Book Type: DVD+RW Part Version: 2 Disc Size: 120mm Maximum Read Rate: Not Specified Number of Layers: 1 Track Path: Parallel Track Path (PTP) Linear Density: 0.267 um/bit Track Density: 0.74 um/track First Physical Sector of Data Area: 196,608 Last Physical Sector of Data Area: 2,491,711 Last Physical Sector in Layer 0: 0 Current Format Capacity: Sectors: 1,203,392 Size: 2,464,546,816 bytes Time: 267:27:17 (MM:SS:FF) Preferred Format Capacity: Sectors: 1,203,392 Size: 2,464,546,816 bytes Time: 267:27:17 (MM:SS:FF) Maximum Format Capacity: Sectors: 1,203,392 Size: 2,464,546,816 bytes Time: 267:27:17 (MM:SS:FF) As you can see, for some reason ImgBurn shows a Max Format Cap of about half the actual 4.7GB capacity of the disc. Have wasted a couple of discs trying to burn larger images and failing as well. Would appreciate any suggestions on how to solve this problem
