Thank you for the advice - they have the cheap Taiwanese Verbs here and the Singapore ones are impossible to find Also, this was a late night burn i.e no one was using the PC - I was in the same room! Will up the buffer to 80MB and re-try. Would Sony be any better - and do you reckon I'll need to re-flash with custom firmware via MCSE? Thanks

Hello, Hope you can help me with the below matter. I believe everything went South due to the below error bcoz all I'm getting is the same old black screen loop @ XBOX W 23:55:50 Waiting for buffers to recover... (LBA: 2969552) W 23:56:05 Waiting for hard disk activity to reach threshold level... I could really use your help folks - getting a successful 0800 just isn't happening...yet!
