I can burn single layer and CD-R's fine. Late last night I tried to burn the same game using clonecd and it worked fine 1st try, so I'm puzzled to why it wont burn in ImgBurn.

Would it make any difference Cynthia that I can burn single layer discs fine?

So i guess having 2 successful burns that it rules the sata controller out of the equation? What other DL drives would you recommend?

Thank you both for your input; Is there a possibility that the drive is conflicting with my sata controller on my motherboard?

I've tried 2.4x and 6x speeds, both give write errors.

Ok, done another single layer burn, heres the info; I 20:12:19 ImgBurn Version 2.4.2.0 started!

Hi there, just wondering if anyone can shed some light on my situation; I've recently bought a Pioneer 216DBK drive to burn some XBOX360 games which I have downloaded and verified the .iso's. To burn them I am using Verbatim DVD+R DL 2.4 Printables. I've sucessfuly burned 2 games but have made 5 coasters in the process of doing this, I'm getting the write error after a few seconds of the burn process starting. I let ImgBurn put the LayerBreak in manually, using 2.4x and seleting the .dvd within ImgBurn. As a result of this I flashed my drive with the firmware provided on the Pioneer website and upgraded motherboard drivers and SATA drivers but still no joy (I've disconnected my old DVD drive and another HDD to free some power up in my system) and tried both on vista and XP. I have a GIGABYTE GA-965P-DS3. Attached is the log file from ImgBurn containing sucessfull and failed burns, any help is much appreciated. ImgBurn.log
