no, dont want to waste time buying one...tbh it's brand new why should I need one...I'm going to get it replaced..

so blowing in it wont due me any good? I guess I will just get it replaced tomorrow.

alright I will get it replaced tomorrow, you think that it's a bad burner, or should I not be transferring it back and forth in my backpack how could it have went bad?

Sorry for my ignorance, won't happend again. PROMISE.

For some reason my sony disc had no problems, but verbatims have been giving me problems....

If it worked before it might be worth a try with a cleaning disc. sigh... Reason: Unknown keeps giving me same error, I tried on verbatim 2.4x disc and at 2x, 2.4x and 4x and no luck should I just return unit, and try another one? shouldn't have to clean it being that I've had it for what, 4-5 days now... Could it be the file?

damn....failed at 4x write speed as well...now I think it's the file, something must be wrong with it

I went out and bought the verbatim 2.4x disc, and it gave me write errors 21% in....i ditched the disc because I know it won't finalize 360 iso files w/ write errors. I'm now trying at 4x, hopefully this works, if not....in some trouble. THANKS ADAM

there 360 iso files, if I burn that fast, the unit will not read them I'm hoping its the disc, because I just bought the burner

So, I bought that pioneer external burner as (you) suggested. And, it has been a charm the last week. Now I'm getting internal errors. LOG 10:09:12 ImgBurn Version 2.5.0.0 started!

Just burned my first game, batman arkham asylum...thanks so much... that drive works flawlessly

You need a zip code for that page. Zip codes for me is pure Greek as I don't live in the US. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp;js...d=1218069254016 It's a bit high priced but it would be the one I would pick from that page. OKay, is it going to be good for burning isos onto DL +r disc or .dvd files...im using verbatim 2.4x disc and have 8x ones as well I'm going to pick it up as we speak. THANKS SO MUCH, hope I'm not dissapointed...you seem like you are a veteran when it comes to this stuff...I was going to give up on this but now I'm like I dropped so much $$ on disc might as well finish it out...

mmalves, how about these: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?_d...rp=15&iht=n are any of those worth the purchase??? if not, any of these: http://www.staples.com/office/supplies/Sta...mp;fromUrl=home

Will this model work well with DL media, I'm just trying to get my hands on something today...so I can test it out, and is Lite-On (in general) an okay brand?

Thanks I think i'm going to leave the office and purchase this one right now: http://www.officemax.com/catalog/sku.jsp?p...s^return_skus~Y can you tell me if it's good, I heard that lite on is a decently reputable brand, not looking for something great just something better than my burner in my laptop which is 4 years old. THANK YOU!!!! cynthia is numero uNo

There is only one speed to select, so selecting something else is useless as it will revert back to 2.4x. Your burner simple doesn't like that media. An external burner would solve your issues. cynthia, thanks for the speedy response...I guess I will purchase a new burner, any reccommendations for something not to expensive that will get the job done? Thanks so much

I tried all speeds as well, this man speaks the truth though.

The 'write speed miscompare' line is a result of a simple query to the drive to get the current write speed from it. If it's not the same as the one you selected, a warning is issued. It's only as reliable as the drive is at reporting the configured speed. yea I learned that one

So I can't for some reason make a thread in the support area, even though I have more posts than others?? (whom have created threads) Anyways, maybe a mod would be courteous and move thread to designated area. Here's my dilemma: So...went out and purchased the verbatim 8x dl disc and, 23:03:51 ImgBurn Version 2.5.0.0 started!

like what was just stated, depends on a lot of things...

I'm skeptical about using clone cd, but being that I have burned through 10-15 disc already...having my doubts about imgburn

I think I'm in the same boat ftl
