I have been unable to burn a dual layer DVD for a while constantly getting "power calibration errors'. The IMGBURN help section suggested using 4x DVDs instead of 8x and re-flashing the drive firmware. I only use Verbatims. Where I shop I found no 4x discs of any brand (all 8x). So I tried re-flashing the drive software and now I have a bigger problem. After re-flashing the drive I lost Dual Layer DVD read support.
IMGburn does not 'see' any dual layer DVD but has no problem with any other disc type (see outputs, below). Single layer DVDs, BDs work fine. Only nonblank Dual Layer DVDs are a problem.Dual layers won't read in Explorere either (please issert a disk ... ).
Cananyone please help me get this problem fixed?

(But if I try to now burn to the Dual Layer DVD I get the same as I was getting before I strated re-flashing the drive, during which apparently I caused the 'cannot see dual layer DVDs' problem.)
