Thanks for the quick response, I'll try both your suggestions. ^^ thanks for the welcome too. After updating the firmware, I tried again, but still got the same results. I'm going to look into what media I goes well with this drive and get some tomorrow. Thanks again for the help Cynthia.

Hey, I'm new to the site as well and with the imgburn program. I used it for the past few days to burn a few dvd+r's and those burned ok, but when I changed to dvd-r's things didn't go so well. I just received an error and a few messed up disks. I 16:47:12 ImgBurn Version 2.5.0.0 started!
