you could always buy a sata to Usb adapter from ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/3-in-1-USB-2-0-To-SA...p3286.m14.l1318

Your using dual layer so it would start to burn but give warning if you had of been using a DVD-5 Is the disc not really just a continuous DATA disc when played in ps3 when authored this way.

have you tried with ARMD for a laugh.

Switch to Verify mode tick verify against image if it's unticked and browse to your download folder and choose bioshock. If it passes then it may be cos your 360 drive is not modded or is broken or the nature of downloading ISO is the chance you take when doing it that way

http://www.google.co.uk/search?source=ig&a...ssues&meta= http://www.viaarena.com/default.aspx?PageI...mp;SubCatID=143 AS b4 check bios to see if SATA is set to use IDE thats best option not AHCI or RAID or even not AUTO see if there are any other sata ports to use or any other options in bios somewhere to enable disable RAID maybe also as well try using the VIA RAID management tool or whatever its called or use an older driver version than the 1 i listed as VIA sata is problematic at best and latest driver is not always the best one.

Double Dutch, you mean Regards Yeah that is what I meant

Your choice of media is Poor use Verbatim MKM-001-00 @ 2.4x or 4x and look for firmware update, I had a quick look for update but could not find update to your drive but maybe its a regional thing. tried USA and UK and no firmware. Or I am blind

All Dutch to me.

Actually BS0Y does not have that ricoh media ID in Firmware so your best bet is to update firmware and use MKM-001-00 which it does have in firmware ------------------------------------------ Firmware: LITE-ON DVDRW SOHW-1633SBS0Y2005/11/25 11:45 Bootcode: LITE-ON DVDRW SOHW-1633S0S082005/11/25 11:45 ------------------------------------------ Overall supported media types: 247 ------------------------------------------ DVD+R9 supported media types: 7 DVD+R supported media types: 84 DVD+RW supported media types: 26 DVD-R supported media types: 99 DVD-RW supported media types: 31 ------------------------------------------ DVD+R9 supported media types: 7 ------------------------------------------ CMC MAG D01-000 2.4x INFOME D01-000 2.4x MKM 001-000 2.4x PHILIPS CD2-000 2.4x PRODISC D01-000 2.4x RICOHJPN D00-001 2.4x RITEK D01-001 2.4x DVD+R supported media types: 84 ------------------------------------------ AML 001-000 4x AML 002-000 8x,6x,4x BeAll000 P40-000 4x BeAll000 P80-000 8x,6x,4x CMC MAG E01-000 8x,6x,4x CMC MAG F01-000 4x CMC MAG F01-001 8x,6x,4x CMC MAG M01-000 16x,12x,8x,6x,4x CMC MAG R01-000 4x DAXON AZ1-000 4x DAXON AZ2-000 6x,4x DAXON AZ3-000 16x,12x,8x,6x,4x DDT 01 001-001 4x DT-D02 02 -000 4x DT-D03 004-000 8x,6x,4x EMDP 000-000 4x GSC502 002-000 4x GSC503 H01-000 4x INFODISC R10-002 4x INFODISC R20-000 8x,6x,4x INFOME R20-000 8x,6x,4x ISSM 001-000 8x,6x,4x LD 001-000 2.4x LD A02-000 4x LD S03-000 8x,6x,4x LONGTEN 002-000 4x MAM M02-000 8x,6x,4x MAXELL 001-000 4x MAXELL 002-000 8x,6x,4x MAXELL 003-000 16x,12x,8x,6x,4x MBIPG101 R03-000 4x MBIPG101 R04-001 8x,6x,4x MBIPG101 R05-001 16x,12x,8x,6x,4x MCC 001-000 4x MCC 002-000 4x MCC 003-000 8x,6x,4x MCC 004-000 16x,12x,8x,6x,4x MEDIA ID 001-000 4x MPOMEDIA 001-000 2.4x MPOMEDIA 040-000 4x MPOMEDIA 080-000 8x,6x,4x MUST 002-001 8x,6x,4x MUST 002 -002 4x NANYA CHX-000 8x,6x,4x NANYA CLX-000 8x,6x,4x NANYA DR -000 2.4x NANYA RJB-000 4x OPTODISC OP1-000 2.4x OPTODISC OP2-000 2.4x OPTODISC OR4-000 4x OPTODISC OR8-000 8x,6x,4x PHILIPS C08-000 8x,6x,4x PHILIPS C16-001 12x,8x,6x,4x PRODISC R01-000 2.4x PRODISC R02-000 4x PRODISC R03-000 8x,6x,4x PRODISC R04-004 16x,12x,8x,6x,4x Philips 081-000 8x,6x,4x Plasmon c01-000 8x,6x,4x RICOHJPN R00-000 4x RICOHJPN R01-002 4x RICOHJPN R02-003 8x,6x,4x RICOHJPN R03-004 16x,12x,8x,6x,4x RITEK M02-001 4x RITEK R01-000 2.4x RITEK R02-001 4x RITEK R03-001 8x,6x,4x RITEK R03-002 8x,6x,4x RITEK R04-001 16x,12x,8x,6x,4x SKYMEDIA R01-000 2.4x SONY D01-000 4x SONY D11-000 8x,6x,4x SONY D21-000 16x,12x,8x,6x,4x TDK 001-000 4x TDK 002-000 8x,6x,4x TDK 003-000 16x,12x,8x,6x,4x ULTRAN 202-000 4x VDSPMSAB 001-001 4x WINGSHIN 001-049 8x,6x,4x WINGSHIN G04-000 4x YUDEN000 T01-000 4x YUDEN000 T01-001 4x YUDEN000 T02-000 8x,6x,4x YUDEN000 T03-000 16x,12x,8x,6x,4x DVD+RW supported media types: 26 ------------------------------------------ CMC MAG W01-000 2.4x CMC MAG W02-000 4x DAXON D41-000 4x DAXON D42-000 4x INFODISC A01-000 2.4x INFODISC A10-000 4x MBIPG101 W03-000 2.4x MBIPG101 W04-000 4x MCC A01-000 2.4x MKM A02-000 4x NANYA DRW-000 4x NANYASC DRW-000 2.4x OPTODISC OP1-000 2.4x OPTODISC OP4-001 4x PHILIPS 010-002 4x PHILIPS 041-000 4x PRODISC W01-000 2.4x PRODISC W02-000 4x RICOHJPN W01-000 2.4x RICOHJPN W11-001 4x RITEK 001-001 2.4x RITEK 004-048 4x RITEK W04-000 4x SENTINEL W01-000 2.4x SENTINEL W02-000 4x SONY S11-000 4x DVD-R supported media types: 99 ------------------------------------------ 4M SYS 202C1 4x AML 4x AN30 4x AN31 4x AN32 4x Auvistar 2x BeAll G00001 2x BeAll G40001 4x BeAll G80001 8x,6x,4x CMC MAG. 2x CMC MAG.

update firmware to BS0Y as Cynthia has suggested (if ricoh still fail) use Verbatim 2.4x MKM-001-00 if those fail buy a new dvd writer

Clean the Lens with a Cd cleaner. Follow and fulfil FAQ on DMA and try again If still the same buy a new writer and see if you can RMA the one you got.

Try the Via one then, then reinstall the whole computer if no good smash it or just simply change to an IDE writer or another sata writer (not samsung) or get and addon sata card like silicon image 3512 (do not get Via sata card as they can be crappy especially with samsung writers) as you have already found out.

Open Device manager and find your Via IDE controller right click on it and choose Update driver then tick install from a list or specific location and then click next and choose Don 't search I will choose the drive to install. Then choose the Standard ms driver Or maybe you can use add and remove to unistall the Via Ide (reboot after for everything)

Use MKM-001-00 instead of MKM-003-00 and Hope that the firmware update to 1.9 adds either of those To it's write strategies(media list ). If not buy a new dvd writer.

Answer They don't Stick with Verbatim. If you have to buy a cheaper brand dL+ make sure you have numerous manufacturers DVD writers eg Pioneer 111,112,115,215. LITEON 20A1P > 20A4P NEC/SONY/OPTIARC 5200 > 7203A, SAMSUNG then at least one of these writers might finish writing to those crappy disc's. Might not be readable after write but you can't have everything (well you can if you use Verbatim)

Buy a Motherboard that does everything without cards. Especially if you are not wanting to play games at full everything. Some built in gfx are pretty good at lower detail etc but if you just want gfx to enable display @1440 and above then onobard are fine. That way all drivers are on disc 10/100/1000 Network, 7 channel (HD) (bollocks)sound, can get Hd gfx built in on mobo now. Drop CPU of your choice in and pick a case and PSU.

Any of the new range of Samsung writers will set DVD+R/DL to DVD-ROM with ImgBurn when Auto Change Book Type Is Ticked In Write settings. I have been rather unlucky with My Samsung dvd writers and DVD+R with PMA update failures and other I/O errors (these are with SATA writers and ICH7 Sata Controller also Via 6421 Sata Controller and a few various SATA to USB controller chipsets) Where as my IDE Samsung 202H has been fine with DVD+R when set to DVD-ROM The Samsung BR writers Should be OK with Auto DVD-ROM but not owning one I cannot say for sure, If they are available to buy now check out reviews etc.

you may need to resend email as I deleted a whole bunch the other day by accident and yours may have been in there

Writing unscrambled Wii images. Writing other types of images as It's name suggests "ImgBurn"
