Hi Again, Looks like this problem hasn't gone away after all! I tried burning a disc again. At first I got a I/O error and then I got this log here. Any chance one of you fine gentlemen could look into this for me? Many thanks again! I 17:15:23 ImgBurn Version 2.5.0.0 started!

Hi, Thanks for the reply. I forgot to mention that the first test I performed after I updated the firmware was on another burning program >sorry<. I've since tried it again on imgburn (at 48%speed) and everything seemed OK. Here is my log - does it look OK to you guys? Thanks again and all the best!

Hi Lightning UK, Great stuff - that seemed to work! The only thing that concerns me is that I burned the disc at 28% speed yet it took about 10mins to complete. While it was burning the drive would slow RIGHT down and then really speed up (seemed a lot smoother than this when the drive was functioning correctly). Should I be concerned by this? Thanks again for all your help and all the best! C h r e d g e

Hi Mmalves, Thanks for your reply. I'm pretty new here. Out of the listed firmware updates, which one do I use and how do I go about updating the firmware?? Sorry, thanks for your help. C h r e d g e.

Hi, Hope you guys can help. I've having lots of issues trying to create an audio disc. I have a CD/DVD RW and can burn data onto a DVD with no problem but whenevr I try to get music onto CD that's whem things go wrong. I have numerous burning programs which I have tried but have not been able to burn a audio disc yet. What info would you guys need in order to disgnose this problem? Whenever I try to burn a disc it manages to get so far and then it stops with some sort of error. Do I change my media (trying Maxell CDRs and Tescos own brand), flash my drive or has my ROM died?
