i've been trying desperetly for the past 2 weeks to burn an ISO img file to dvd-r disc. on windows Vista. Imgburn 2.5 always says the burn is successfull with no errors in the log, but when I try & read the disc, it's blank. 0 free space. I've tried the disc on different machines, and rebooted windows. Can't read the disc. I am using good quality verbatim discs, burning at 4.x speed. already went through about 10 of these expensive little hummers... I'm doing a new fresh burn now so you have an updated log... The device is a HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA T20N. I've checked the driver update, but windows says I already have the latest version. I've checked the firmware vrs through imgburn and there is an update.. imgburn says I have version WT03, there is a version WY04 for my LG-GSA-T20N. I downloaded the file, but when I run the exe, it can't find the target drive. I've tried our other 3 computers, but none of them support recording on DVD-R discs.

Now, the log didn't say anything that it closed the disc... So I do it manually:
Close Track
Close Session - I/O ERROR
Device: [1:0:0] HL-DT-ST-DVDRAM GSA T20N WT03 (E:) (ATA)
SCSI Status 0x02
Interpretation: Check Condition
CDB: 5B 00 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
Interpretation: Close Track / Session
Sense Area: 70 00 05 00 00 00 00 0A 5B 00 00 0C 72 03 00 00 00 00
Interpretation: Session Fixation Error - Incomplete track in session
Close Disc - Same errors as above except for the Sense Area
Sense Area: 70 00 05 00 00 00 00 0A 5B 05 00 0C 24 00 00 C0 00 02
Interpretation: Invalid Field in CDB
So that's it, can't read the disc...
Any help is appreciated, but please, just real help... I have already tried all the basic stuff I know of, as you can see. Thank you.
