Hey People at imgburn!
I accounted a problem a few days ago with my lightscribe cd/dvd drive. I have an Asus SATA DVD+-RW with Lightscribe Model: DRW-2014L1T.
So I'll explain what happened, I was burning a few images the other day and at first there was no problem. I was using my computer at the same time as I was burning and thought that would be no problem since the buffer was full and I had lots of free memory. When it came to my third image I was burning, sadly the program I was using behind imgburn freezes and suddenly uses lots of memory. I see the buffers in imgburn going down to zero including the harddiskactivity. I thought ok this burn is lost, I'll just try again. After a while I manage to kill the process of the program that hanged and release my computer from it's grip I notice how imgburn recovered the harddiskactivity and buffers and continued to burn the image. I thought, hey how cool if it actually managed to save that burn.
During verify I get a I/O Error and thought ok maybe it wasn't saved. I try burning the Image again but with the same result during verify (not during the burn)
I was thinking, maybe it's a bad image and tried another one but with the same result. I took a look at the cd's I'm burning and noticed that there are big gaps in the information on the cd, here's a foto of the cd:

Now I'm wondering if I possibly damaged my cd drive when the computer freezed or if this is a problem that can be solved with re installation of some kind or maybe it's my media that's bad. I use TDK Lightscribe discs and they usually work fine with my drive.
