I have read all the material on this website, and have not seen specific problem I am having, so posting to forum. When using ImgBurn, my NEC 3540A drive gets "killed" on the first attempt to write a disc from an ISO image. While writing lead-in or just after, get 3 failures (shown in log below) and drive is powered down at this point. ImgBurn program will continue to run so must reboot machine at this point to kill ImgBurn and recover drive. After that, the next disc burned works correctly. This has happened 5 times already. The NEC drive burns without incident using programs such as Nero, DVDShrink, and DVD Flick. I am using Verbatim DVD-R media with Manufacturer ID MCC 02RG20 (shown in data from disc info window) and burning at 2X speed. Any help would be greatly appreciated as it is currently taking 2 discs for every 1 burned.
Thanks!
