hey folks...
i've been using imgburn and this drive for awhile now and never had any issues. i am totally coaster free and it's great. however, i just decided i might as well start using the DL feature, so i went out and bought two packs of DL discs, figuring i'd probably get stuck with one set of bum discs. i got hp discs, CMC-MAG-D01 and memorex, RITEK-D01-001. according to various media guides i've read, ritek are kinda garbage, but the cmc claims to be better (tier 3 quality according to the guide at digitalfaq.com). well, so, neither will burn.
my firmware is 2.06, so maybe i should update, yeah...? here's a snippet from the log:

any suggestions appreciated. firmware flashing always scares me (bad experience with a mobo once). if that's my answer, i may need moral support.
