I normally use TY's but have run out and wanted to burn something and instead of waiting a bit to order more TY's I have gone and bought some at my local wallmart and at officemax and so far I have about 4 differant brands of media here and all of them give me the same results. I know the drive is kinda old so maybe that could be a factor with todays media. Any ideas if its just my media, Maybe my drive or some kind of settings. I have tried a few things and wasted about 1-15 blank dvds and cant even get it to burn the lead in on them. Here is a picture of the error I get and the log also. It has had some stuff removed to shorten up the log.
Thanks in advance
