tryed removing the gears etc and it wont even burn at all , gonna try a cd cleaner if it not then ill have to get an external cheers lads

i couldnt copy and paste the filter order so i have enclosed pictures if that helps thanks

lmao2k, the burner isnt that old only had it replaced about 2 mnths ago, as for the firmware i do not no and dont no anything about it, im a bit of a newbie and dont no much about these things sorry, chewy, (have you posted a filter driver load order? tools) im sorry but i dont understand any of that i dont know no what one is, sorry as i said i am a bit of a newbie, dontasciime, i will try a disk cleaner and see what happens, if it doesnt do anything then i will try the semaphore timeout errors but im sorry but what are they lol sorry, sorry guys if im annoying you thanks again

thanks again dontasciime, that makes it better but only 50% of the writes actually work and the other 50% fail is there any reason whythis might happen or is it just one of them things, thanks
