Hey, thanks for your quick reply... The discs i am using are DVD+R DL Verbatim 8x. Is the speed the problem? I thought that regardless of the speed you can always burn them slower? The DVD burner is referred to by ImgBurn as: HL-DT-ST DVDRW GWA-4164B (ATA) with firmware 1.01 (i checked for newer versions but did not find any.)

I know that other people have posted with the same problem, but i haven't found a solution yet, so i thought i'd ask again. I have burned standard DVD+Rs and CDRs with this drive, but when i attempt to burn a DVD+R DL it does not load. The log is as follows: I 21:21:23 ImgBurn Version 2.5.0.0 started! I 21:21:23 Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition (5.1, Build 2600 : Service Pack 2) I 21:21:23 Total Physical Memory: 523,760 KB - Available: 171,952 KB I 21:21:23 Initialising SPTI... I 21:21:23 Searching for SCSI / ATAPI devices... I 21:21:24 Found 1 DVD-ROM and 1 DVD±RW! - this is simply the log shown when the program starts up when i click 'eject', put the disc in then click 'load' i am met with: 'Device Not Ready (Logical Unit is in the process of becoming ready)' After some noise from the disc drive i am told: 'Device Not Ready (Medium Not Present)' I have tried uninstalling the drive and reinstalling it, but with no success. I have also tried the same with img burn. The drive does work but i am just having problems with dual layer discs. Is there any light that anyone can shed on my problem? thanks in advance.
