Okay then. Well unfortunately for me, the burner I've been using is built in to the laptop I've tried cleaning the lens, using different discs and burning on several different speeds with no luck. So I've considered purchasing an external driver, would you mind letting me know if this one is any good or not? Or recommending a decent one that I could get in the UK? http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/6768621/Trail/searchtext%3ESAMSUNG+SLIM+EXTERNAL.htm

Thank you for the reply although I don't fully understand what you meant. Were you suggesting that I get a new drive/discs with the post? Also, not a damn clue what this firmware stuff is about

Hello, I'm kinda new to the whole burning thing but I've been facing an error that's been winding me up a bit and wondered if I'd get any help here Basically whilst burning a 360 game (I've tried burning two different games but the same thing always happens), each time it'll get to somewhere around 90% (normally 91-94%) and then an I/O error will pop up: I 23:51:53 ImgBurn Version 2.5.2.0 started!

Uploaded with ImageShack.us I can't seem to figure out why the burn will not finish - I've asked a real life friend to try burning the exact same image as I've tried using and it works perfectly fine for him, we also use the same blank dvd's to burn to. Any help would be hugely appreciated, thanks.
