Lighting... you are my hero man! My burner was plugged into the silicon controller and after plugging it into Intel controller and updating BIOS, I just successfully burnt a disc! Thanks a lot man!

I'll try that tonight when I get home. Thanks for your help. But what is a bus reset? I did notice that when imgburn fails, computer freezes and mouse stops moving... I also noticed this happens every couple of minutes.

My mobo is Asus P5Q Pro which is Socket775 Intel P45 chipset. I don't see how drivers could be bad as I didn't change anything from when I was able to successfully burn back-ups. I did re-install the firmware for my burner and I still get the same error. Should I try plugging my burner into different port on mobo? Or anything else I could do?

Hi guys, I just wasted 5 Verbatim discs trying to back-up a dual layer DVD at 2.4x speed. Can you guys please tell me what am I doing wrong? I was on vacation for the last 2 weeks and prior to vacation I was able to back-up discs without any problems... I haven't changed anything on my computer since!
