Thanks for the advice, faster write speed helped. Pity 4 Verbatim DL discs were wasted before finding this out. Thanks again.

I will try... Thanks.

Just like that ... THANK YOU!!! Is there anything I can do until I get hold of a PCI card. Any suggestions to which card?

That I do, Motherboard: Asus P5Q Pro. Controllers: Intel ICH10 Family 2 Port Serial ATA Storage Controller 2 - 3A26 Intel ICH10 Family 4 Port Serial ATA Storage Controller 1 - 3A20 Primary IDE Channel Primary IDE Channel Primary IDE Channel Secondary IDE Channel Secondary IDE Channel Secondary IDE Channel Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE Controller Does that help?

The cable is new and I am using 2 drives, the Master drive is at the end. When I try to open Device Manager to check the controller type. the Pc freezes??

I have searched the topics and even tried to run the firmare flash utility provided by firmware HQ (status: Update failed) without any luck. Any ideas?

I used to be a happy.. did'nt have any problems with any of my burners...cd's, dvd's and DL DVD's. No problem what so ever... And then a couple of days ago.. Everything I tried to burn failed..due to Logical Unit Communication CRC Error (Ultra-DMA/32) This lead to a scary amount of useless fail to burn DVD's and CD's.. Having some PC understanding I started googling the problem. There I found different solutions to this problem. From PIO/ DMA problems to physicaly removing both my burners and reinstalling them. Yet no luck what so ever. Frustration lead to desperate measures.. Un-installing burn software... As you can understand my frustration.. I am desperately seeking advice for a solution..
