So what exactly do you want from us? Try this firmware update if you want but you might end up just buying a new drive. http://www.firmwareh...166B/files.html p.s. there was no need to make a new thread - I've merged them now. Well I didn't actually want a solution I'm sorry My post was a little confusing. What I really wanted to know is WHY they weren't burning, with that knowledge I would've known how to solve the problem. Well after about 10 minutes of looking at the Log I gave it seemed that the lowest speed my drive burned at was 4.00x most people suggest 2.4x because it won't skip sectors and corrupt or give you errors, well a friend of mine traded me a newer LG drive that works fine it burn nice. It's a HL GWA-4165B. And the reason I wasn't going to buy Vertabrims is because I can't get them shipped where I live and the only store that sells them, sells them for $55 for 20 so F*** that I'm good with my Memorex's <3 they work just fine and if they ever stop working THEN you can say I told you so

Ok So I flashed My Xbox 360's Hitachi 46DG Drive with iExtreme Firmware 1.51 since that's the highest Hitachi's can go. Now, once I got the flashing all done I went to buy my media, I decided on Memorex DVD +R DL. They looked fine and a lot of people have told me the obtained great success with these DVDs.First I started off with a HL Data Storage (LG) GSA-H21L Drive it was able to burn DVD +R DL According to VSO Inspector! So I pop in my Memorex's and what do you know it reads it as a blank disc! Great, so I go into ImgBurn set my Layer Break to 1917360 and burn using the .dvd file! (Sorry I don't have the log!) Well it told me it was working up until the filling Lead-In step took about 3-5 minutes and then I/O errors went crazy! I didn't have a clue what was going on. I didn't want to make another coaster so I decided to try burning a game at my friend's house. His CPU has a HL Data Storage (LG) GWA-4166B Drive according to VSO Inspector his drive is capable of Burning DVD +R DLs ALSO! Ok so we try burning the same game on his drive (It was Borderlands FYI) And everything was looking good it got past filling Lead-In and burned at 2.4x up until about 30% once again I/O errors came up all 20 of them, and another coaster! I gave these LG drives one last chance and tried again on the GWA-4166B But no luck this time after the filling Lead-In stage I/O errors But then a beacon of hope! His fathers computer! It had a Lite-On drive (not sure about model ) and we tried burning Borderlands on it, and what do you know IT WORKED! We started jumping in joy! Anyway I went back home and tried my GSA-H21L and no luck I/O errors So now that that's out of the way... HELP!! Here's a new log using the GWA-4166B I 20:06:27 ImgBurn Version 2.5.0.0 started!
