Hi Lightning UK, I totally acknowledge that. The only reason why I didn't buy Verbs is the fact that the chap who flashed my Xbox360 uses the cheapest he can get and he assured me that they work just fine for him. I'm still puzzled by the whole thing because the media, drive and firmware are identical to when it still worked. I've even upgraded the drive's firmware! Well, external drive it is from now on...

First of all I'd like to thank Shamus and Spinner for looking into my problem. I haven't bought any new media yet but tried my mate's external burner last night. Everything worked fine! In summary, I (and everyone I've consulted) don't have a clue why my I can't burn ISOs with my burner anymore. That's the magnificent world of IT!

Thanks - just got home from the pub! I'll give that a try tomorrow. I'll also try to burn some less complicated data onto a normal CD and/or non-DL DVD tomorrow. If that doesn't work something's not right with my PC. Otherwise I'll have to invest into some fancy DL DVDs.

Thanks, Shamus! I'll upgrade to 1.6 from 1.5 this weekend. I appreciate you get a lot of idiots asking you a lot of things and I really appreciate the time, money and patience you invest. I've also helped out quite a few people in various satellite forums and know what it's like. If someone experienced like yourself looks at my error log and is very certain that it's the cheap media and nothing else, then I'll take that to heart. You have to see where I'm coming from as well, though. I bought 25 DVD RW DLs a few weeks ago and then burnt around ten back-ups on my drive (with 1.3 firmware at the time). Then I fall victim to some malware and all of a sudden I get this stupid session fixation error. Surely, I wouldn't assume that the DVDs have deteriorated in the few days since the last successful burn and rather suspect that something's wrong with the system. Just lastly, are the DVDs ready to be destroyed once I get this error meassage or has ImgBurn not written anything at all at that point, please?

Shamus, I'm fully aware that most people only recommend using high-quality DVDs or even very specific ones. I only got my 25 CDs three weeks ago and all previous burns worked just fine. That's why I'm currently finding it hard to blame the CDs and am most inclined to blame the PC (or even the drive even though that's also unlikely).

Thanks, mate. I've read a lot about only using verbs made in Singapore. The chap who flashed my Xbox 360 uses the cheapest DLs available (

Hi! I've previously been visiting as a guest and found this forum very helpful. Now, that I've encountered a major problem on my PC, I've decided to register an become ana ctive member. I'm unfotunately no IT expert but a super moderator in a small but very friendly satellite TV forum. I'd be glad to help anyone here who has satelitte TV related questions! Your help with the below issue would be much appreciated. I'm using ImgBurn to make legal copies of my Xbox 360 games (I'm not downloading ISOs but making copies of my originals). Everything used to work fine but now I'm getting a "Session Fixation Error Writing Lead In" message. Just to clarify: I've successfully copied around ten of my games using the same DVD drives, programmes and DL DVDs. I then caught a virus (win 32 heur), which I tried to fight but the PC was almost running abolutely fine. Before I formatted my C drive to get rid of the virus, I tried burning an ISO using ImgBurn and got the aforementioned error message for the first time ever. I didn't think much of it blaming it on the virus. However, having re-installed XP (clean), I'm still unable to burn the image. Here's what I've done to try and rectify the problem: Updated the drive's firmware from 1.3 to 1.5 Un- and reinstalled the drive Disconnected the other drive (used to extract the ISO) I'm posting the error log below. Could you please also let me know whether the DVD can be re-used? I 20:13:28 ImgBurn Version 2.4.2.0 started!
